25 years ago when I started in heavy equipment construction you brought your own jug of water or you toughed it out lol. Then a bunch of dumbass illegal alien farm workers kicked the bucket in the field because they were to stupid to bring their own water….. Now the state OSHA got involved and every employer has to provide water (min of 1qt per hour/per worker) also have to provide shade and 15 min breaks like every 2 hours or wherever someone feels exhausted…… it’s beyond ridiculous….. my company has over a 1000 field employees…. They have to provide bottled water and ice for every one of them….. pallets and pallets of bottled water at the yard and we get an ice delivery every day for the 3 big ice freezers. There is no more personal responsibility 🤦🏻♂️🥴🥴🥴
I'm in the same industry. Not allowed to provide single serving water bottles anymore because they are a trip/fall hazard to the wetbacks after they litter the jobsite with empties.
