the company, briefed Minister Al Awar on the key initiatives that the company has launched to ensure workers’
protection and establish a decent and safe working environment.

Al Awar praised Sobha Realty’s initiatives and its commitment to ensuring the health and safety of its workers,

expressing his great confidence in “the significant awareness among private sector companies about the importance of
implementing occupational health and safety requirements and standards at work sites and labour accommodation
facilities, given their positive impact on workers’ health, safety, and productivity.”

“The Midday Break has become a well-established culture in the UAE private sector as it enters its 20th consecutive

year,” Al Awar noted, underlining the high levels of compliance that the initiative has achieved over the years. “The
private sector is a strategic partner for the government in its efforts to enhance the competitiveness and leadership of
the UAE labour market.”

“We can see this clearly in companies’ consistent compliance with labour relations regulations, as well as in their
commitment to supporting labour market initiatives and programmes, in addition to prioritising social responsibility,” he

added.

The Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation (MoHRE) had announced that 6,000 rest stations would be

provided for delivery workers across the UAE, in addition to an interactive map of these stations to enable workers to
easily locate and access them throughout the Midday Break period.

The Ministry has called on all private sector companies that carry out outdoor work to launch similar initiatives to
ensure the safety of their workers while also urging community members to report any irresponsible practices or

violations of the Midday Break by contacting MoHRE’s call centre at 600590000, or through its website or smart
application.
