SSC classifies slaughterhouse work as ‘hazardous’

AMMAN — The jobs of butchering animals or selling them at shops are now classified as “hazardous” professions, Social Security Corporation (SSC) Spokesperson Musa Sbeihi said on Wednesday.

He noted that the Greater Amman Municipality slaughterhouses and any facilities that employ butchers and meat sellers should supply the SSC with a list of their names and should also pay an additional 1 per cent for the social security subscription of one in accordance with the law.
