UAE: Over 10,000 AC rest stations for delivery riders during peak summer
Over 10,000 air-conditioned rest stations will serve delivery service workers across the UAE throughout the peak summer period. Known as the 'Midday Break', the UAE enforces a ban on outdoor work under direct sunlight from 12.30pm to 3pm daily for three months, starting June 15.
The Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation (MoHRE) said Tuesday that delivery services are a 'vital logistical sector with a unique operational model', where workers are not stationed in fixed locations.
Delivery service workers can access the nearest rest stations through interactive maps available on the apps.
