Abu Dhabi: A low-cost innovative uniform aimed at protecting workers in hot environments was unveiled in Abu Dhabi, the United Arab Emirates.
The protective uniform was the brainchild of designer Aryam Al Muammari, who was among four participants who were declared winners of the 2019 Pitch@Palance competition.
She designed the “Aryam uniform” using safe chemical material to cool workers’ bodies and protect them against heat stress and exhaustion and endure high temperatures during scorching summer.
Four students enrolled at the Khalifa University also took part in designing the protective uniforms which target some 1.5 million workers, the majority of whom are employed in the construction sector.
