Please observe a construction site in Houston (I just drove by some roofers a few minutes ago). There are breaks, but they are much rarer than a "normal" person might expect.
that's scary. thanks for the data point (not joking) because here north of Phoenix it's hot as hell too, yet less hot than at lower elevation like the valley Phoenix is in, so it would be nuts to not respect the climate.
Is it maybe the point that not every commonsense-ism needs legislation backing it, IF it is truly respected and honored universally as common sense.
Or is this a news item because there are tyrants who forbid workers from drinking water and taking bathroom breaks? If so, that's bizarre and sad.
