Stay Safe in the Heat – A Message from ABC Keystone & CSSS

With the current heat wave impacting our region, ABC Keystone, in partnership with Carley Smith Safety Services (CSSS), encourages all members to prioritize heat illness prevention on the jobsite.

As CSSS founder Carley Smith—who brings over 25 years of safety experience—reminds us:
☀️ High temperatures + physically demanding work = a serious risk for heat stress.
This is especially true in construction, manufacturing, and other outdoor industries.

The good news? Most heat-related incidents are preventable with three key steps:
💧 Hydrate
🛑 Take breaks
🌳 Find shade
