The head of the noon work team, Hamad Al-Makhial, the team visited the hospital on Wednesday to assess how well company owners had implemented the decision to forbid workers at noon in order to safeguard everyone's health and safety from the intense heat. The employee was given a citation to "respect the legislation which prohibits working in the direct heat of the sun from 11:00 am to 4:00 pm" and given to the employer as a warning, he said, outlining the steps taken by the team to register the violation.
