During the discussion, a draft law concerning labor protection was reviewed.
Aliyev noted that in recent years, summer temperatures often reach 40 degrees, which is particularly difficult for elderly people, as well as those suffering from hypertension and diabetes.
He suggested considering the creation of more comfortable working conditions for these vulnerable groups. As an example, the deputies discussed practices used in other countries, where such workers are allowed to finish their workday two hours earlier — not at 6:00 PM, but at 4:00 PM.
“If I initiate such a proposal, is it possible to discuss issues related to the protection of the rights and health of elderly people, as well as those with hypertension and diabetes, together with the Ministry?” he addressed the representative of the Ministry of Labor.
Kamchybek Dosmatov, the First Deputy Minister of Labor, noted that this proposal is subject to consideration.
