The annual midday work ban, prohibiting outdoor labour under direct sunlight, should be extended to three full months to protect workers from the dangers of prolonged sun exposure during the hottest time of the day, according to the Migrant Workers Protection Society (MWPS).
Last month, the GDN reported that the work ban is scheduled to run for two and a half months, from June 15 to August 31, as per the Official Gazette .
