Employees of Centro Capital Centre disrtibute refreshments to workers

Centro Capital Centre joins 'working safely in heat' drive

ABU DHABI, August 23, 2015

Centro Capital Centre by Rotana, a leading lifestyle business hotel in Abu Dhabi, UAE, participated in the annual “Working Safely in the Heat” campaign - by distributing 1,000 bottles of water and 200 packs of juice to workers.

Along with refreshments, flyers and brochures explaining the symptoms of heat illness and its prevention measures were given to the workers.

The campaign comes in line with the Ministry of Labour’s decision, banning midday work between 12:30 pm and 3:00 pm during summer months. 

It aims to raise awareness and educate workers and employers about the dangers of working in hot weather and provide resources and guidance to address these hazards. Workers at the risk group are those in outdoor industries, such as agriculture, construction, landscaping and transportation.

Ayman Ashor, general manager of Centro Capital Centre by Rotana, said: “Being a part of the community, it is our responsibility to collaborate and raise awareness about heat-related illnesses and how to avoid them. This is a global challenge in the region and such challenges could be tackled only if all stakeholders come together and supplement government efforts.” – TradeArabia News Service
