Up to now, road builders had to wear long pants in all construction situations and even in the greatest heat, as well announced Thursday the Swiss Construction Association. The provision on "safety clothing in public spaces" was strongly criticized by the site staff. Thus, since November 2017, the SBV has actively supported the abolition of this provision to the VSS
