MoL designates some staff as ‘judicial control officers’

A group of employees at the Ministry of Labour (MoL) took the legal oath to serve as judicial controlofficers before the Minister of Labour HE Dr Ali bin Samikh Al Marri on Monday. It was part of the ministry’s efforts to enhance its supervisory role at worksites and labour accommodations across the country and facilitate its services provided to beneficiaries.

Assigning some employees of the MoL the capacity of judicial control officer contributes to controlling violations at worksites as its authorizes the inspectors to enter workplaces and workers’ residences to control violations, which in turn will raise the level of supervision over establishments with regard to labour legislation in the country.
