We must respect and obey these steps always.
SAFETY is the first Priority to all concern irrespective off all jobs.
Its starts the time you awake up and end until you go to sleep!
The workers should know their job responsibilities along with the safe precautions in details before he/she will start the job.
Thank you for your revolutionary action towards the workers and their families as well!
!بارك الله قطر !
Only until August 31? I think the daytime temperature for the month of September is still intolerable (?) heat temp + the body temp that raises while moving... i guess still not healthy/advisable to work under the sun or during daytime.
also, can they provide shade for laborers while working if it is a road work?
hahaha love it Brit!

wow giving workers job descriptions, truly revolutionary Qatar!!
“the companies should not let workers work under sun for more than five hours from June 15 to August 31” .. That means they only have to work a few minutes each day :O)
This is a good thing if will be enforced.What I don't like with some job descriptionis the one that comes to the end wherein, "or be assigned for other works from time to time"!it's good, mine has nothing like that.
