With the construction boom in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (the “Kingdom”) at full throttle and the recent tragic event involving the collapse of a crane at the Holy Mosque in Makkah during the Hajj season, the health and safety (H&S) of workers is now more relevant than ever. During the past Hijri year, the Saudi Ministry of Labour (MOL) has commenced 142,600 site inspections and recorded a total of 35,250 labour law violations, 2,321 of which are related to workers working outdoors "under the sun". Fines were imposed on the violating employers in addition to suspending the MOL's electronic services on 12,256 entities.
