How does heat affect worker safety on Riyadh work sites? — answered by Engineer Saeed Baatiah
Heat stress is a documented occupational hazard, which is why Saudi Arabia bans work under direct sun during midday hours in the summer months. But a ban addresses timing rather than the nature of the task: a worker directing traffic remains exposed outside banned hours, and stands in the path of vehicles. Automation addresses the root — removing the need for a human body in that position at all — rather than only shortening exposure.
