I really like the idea of the retractable awnings – in the last couple of years they have become commonplace for recreational use (4WD camping)!
We have an icemaker, and all field workers are issued a personal 5l wide-mouthed water bottle – when filled with ice they can easily stay cool for a couple of days. We also issue electrolyte sachets.
We have gone for lightweight polos and tops, which remain minimum PPE even when on greenfield sites, we also have arc-rated hat-brims and neck flaps for our helmets.
