Ramp Service personnel are required to work outside in the elements while wearing a face mask as per the Government mandate. It is heating up very quickly in ZZZ. While we understand the importance of the mask mandate it is time that someone revisit the mandate and make some adjustments as far as wearing face masks outside. It is literally becoming more difficult to breathe while wearing a face mask in the extreme heat. Our Company's flight schedule and work load in ZZZ are just about pre-pandemic levels. Today; I was on a crew that had to go across the field to the Company hangar and tow an aircraft back to the terminal gates. Upon returning from the hangar; I observed employees from two other major airlines working the ramp without face masks along with an entire construction crew working on the field for the XXXX County Aviation Authority and not one was wearing a face mask. If the mandate is not being enforced out on the Ramp; then why is the mandate still in place?
