Decision Number (8) of 2013 concerning regulating occupational safety inside the installations, Decision Number (12) of 2013 concerning notifying about injuries and occupational illnesses, and Decision Number (31) of 2013 to prevent the risks of electricity. 11. This is in addition to the International Labour Organization convention Number (155) of 1981 concerning Occupational Safety and Health and the Working Environment to which acceded the Government in accordance with Law Number (25) of 2009, and all the foregoing in its totality constitutes a system for providing occupational safety related to risks and injuries materializing during work. 12. The Resolution of the Ministry of Labour and Social Development number (3) of 2013 concerning prohibiting work at noon, is considered among the most prominent decisions related to promoting and protecting the rights of expatriate labour, given that it provides for prohibiting the work of workers particularly in the construction contracting field under the sunrays and in outdoor places during the period between noon and four o’clock in the afternoon in summertime, in view of what is experienced by the Kingdom during this season in terms of hot weather and high levels of humidity, which is what could expose those workers to risks as a result of heat exhaustion and exposure to sun strokes and collapsing during work, and it is permissible for the competent ministry to adopt all the legal measures concerning the companies and institutions in breach of the provisions of this Decision. 13. As to the rights of the household expatriate Workers, and whereas the provisions of the Labour Law in the private sector enacted pursuant to Law Number (36) of 2012 excludes domestic workers from being subject to it, with the exception of some articles which addressed some rights, this impels the National Institution to alert to the importance of the existence of legalization regulating their affairs and the affairs of the labour recruitment agencies and the rights and obligations of each party. 14. The mentioned call of the National Institutions consecrates the principle of equality and human dignity for all the workers including household expatriate Workers, such on an equal footing with the national workers without discrimination on grounds of gender or religion or colour or language or creed or origin, where the need has become urgent for a legal system that guarantees to those two segments dignified living and necessary protection against any risk to which they may be exposed, where it is necessary to concede to them a number of rights and privileges at all levels, which are no different than those enjoyed by national workers, particularly in the fields of the necessary social, legal, security and health protection. 15. Whereas it is incumbent for any concerned quarter, whether employee or employer, or who deputizes for them to refer to the Ministry of Labour and Social Development in any labour dispute which could arise between the two parties, such to fulfil the rights of the disputants, particularly since this consulting service is rendered by arbiters and specialists with experience and knowledge in resolving labour disputes, and in accordance with the Law of Labour in the private sector issued by virtue of Law Number (36) of 2012 and the relevant ministerial decisions. 78
