Who Qualifies for Nominations?
Nominations should meet criteria set by Ministerial Order No. (8) of 2013, which outlines health and safety standards.

How to Nominate?
Private sector employers can submit nominations via the Ministry’s online platform at https://jobs.mlsd.gov.bh/main/superheroes. The Ministry encourages recognizing workers in roles like excavation, confined spaces, healthcare positions with virus risks, and other challenging environments.
