The Public Authority for Manpower issued a decision to amend some provisions of the list of rules and procedures for granting work permits to women for employment in a number of business fields, including oil.
The administrative decision amends Article 26 of the regulations by adding the paragraph “excluded from the prohibition regarding the employment of female engineers and workers in the work of engines and their maintenance, quarries and mines, and works related to drilling and maintenance of wells of all kinds, works related to supervision, management, follow-up and operation that do not require strenuous physical effort.”
