In Kerala, India, workers will now be given a three-hour break in the afternoon in an attempt to avoid extreme heat, in order to improve labor conditions. Most of the 3 million migrant workers in Kerala work in construction, agriculture, and other industries that require that they work outside. The labor commission is implementing a variety of labor initiatives in order to improve conditions for laborers. The focus on protecting workers from the heat comes after numerous reports of heat strike, and sunburn.
