Only approved quality disposable shaving sets made of stainless materials and high quality paper towels should be used instead of cloth towels.
In Saudi Arabia, workers are fined for not having a health card
Riyadh: The Saudi Ministry of Urban, Rural Affairs and Housing has announced that employees of various businesses across the country will be fined 2,000 riyals (approximately Rs 40,000) if they do not have a health card. This is a card that checks the health status of the employees and proves that there is no problem and they are fit to work. Also known as the Baladiya Card, it is issued by the city council after a medical lab examination at a clinic to confirm that the patient is not.
The Baladiya card is mandatory for all public health workers, including those working in food stalls, restaurants and cafes, barber shop staff, cooks and domestic workers. If employees continue to work without this card, they will be fined by the respective establishments. The law will take effect from Saturday. The fine is 2000 riyals per worker. The fine will increase according to the number of workers without cars.
