Dehydrated, nauseous, sunburned Floridians flood emergency rooms when temperatures rise

7. Came here to say the same thing.

Let’s keep water breaks from people working in the sun. Yeah, those people who have to wear heavy duty clothing, a vest, hard hat, and steel toe boots.

I was an industrial electrician. Every so often we would have to wear a flame retardant flash suit, hood, and high voltage gloves. By the time I got out of it even my underwear was soaked. Even in cool weather. It pisses me off when a bunch of entitled office jerks who have no clue come up with stuff like that. Talk to the people who are hazmat techs or firefighters. Hazmat folks get suited up, tape off, and toss a tank on their back. At the chemical plant I worked at we had an internal fire and hazmat department. Those guys would come back completely drained. Just our regular work wear had to be flame resistant and buttoned up. Look at the police wearing bulletproof vests I’m sure they have heat problems also. The idiots have no clue to actual work conditions.
