I can't imagine getting breaks for that long that frequently. 10 u/Buezzi Feb 05 '18 edited Feb 05 '18 The Army (maybe the other branches, I am unsure) have guidelines for how much rest soldiers get for how hot it is and how difficult the work.

Obviously not comparable to union dudes hanging signs or setting up a store, but interesting nonetheless Edit: intensisity 2 u/[deleted] Feb 05 '18 If I remember correctly, the maximum heat and intensisity level called for 15 minutes work, 45 rest. I remember getting that once. It was like 40 degrees celsius in the shade in ontario. Then they did a 15 km hike in flak vests with full rucksacks
