Kuwait's Public Authority for Manpower (PAM) has issued a strong call for public cooperation in enforcing the midday work ban. Citizens and residents are encouraged to report any violations where workers are employed in open areas during the prohibited hours, a measure designed to protect laborers from the extreme summer heat.

The authority has provided a specific contact number, 24936192, for the Occupational Health and Safety Management Team, through which reports can be submitted. PAM emphasizes that active reporting is crucial for ensuring compliance and safeguarding the well-being of workers.
