It's not halting sunrise but there's a directive[1] that basically says (amongst other) "don't work under the sun without protection".
[1] Amended proposal for a Council Directive on the minimum Health and Safety requirements regarding the exposure of workers to the risks arising from physical agents — Individual Directive in relation to Article 16 of Directive 89/391/EEC (Text with EEA relevance) (OJ C, C/230, 19.08.1994, p. 3, )
- RugnirViking 3y agowell yes? Can you imagine working on a hot building site for 8+ with no sun shelter provided or even allowed onsite? a simple gazebo is a godsend, and very cheap for employers to provide, its no surprise something like that would be regulated. Heat exhaustion and skin cancer are common in those kinds of industries.

- RugnirViking 3y agoit's not (necessarily) about working in the shade all the time, but having some shade available for breaks etc.
- PetitPrince 3y agoIt was just me trying to be a wiseass by reaction to OP argument that I felt like "omg next they'll want to regulate the sun!!11" by answered "yes actually yes, there is a regulation about the sun".
