Midday break exemptions

The guidelines include exceptions for necessary work that needs to continue uninterrupted, and they are exempted from implementing the midday work ban for technical reasons. These include laying asphalt or pouring concrete, in the event where it is unfeasible to postpone these tasks until after the break.

Exceptions also include workers who are deployed to contain hazards or repair damages that affect the community, such as interruptions to water supply or electricity, cutting off traffic, and other major issues.

In the case of exempted jobs, the employer is required to provide sufficient cold drinking water for workers.
