Alarming on-the-job death numbers was the issue of focus during a recent conference organized collaboratively by Bahrain's Ministry of Labor, the International Labor Organization (ILO) and members of Bahrain's business community. Over the last three years, 107 work-related accidents were documented, 38 of which resulted in worker fatalities. Participants unanimously agreed that it was their responsibility to improve safety standards for Bahrain's laborers through new and improved legislation.
Bahrain has already taken steps to prevent job-related accidents by limiting working hours during the months of July and August, so workers can avoid risky exposure to medical problems during the intense summer heat.
