Shift Scheduling Can Prevent Heat Stress 🕒🌡
The hottest part of the day? 12–5 PM.

☀️ Smart shift scheduling can reduce heat illness risk:
• Start early or work evenings
• Rotate workers on strenuous tasks
• Avoid OT during heat waves

A few changes in timing could save you from medical costs and OSHA citations.

We’re proud to partner with Warwick EMS to support the health, safety, and readiness of their team here in Lititz! 🚑

Thank you for trusting CNS Occupational Medicine as your partner in community care. 💪

🚑 Warwick EMS is excited to announce a new partnership with CNS Occupational Medicine right here in Lititz!

Over the past several months, CNS specialists have worked with our leadership team to create a new Physical Agility Test designed specifically for EMTs and paramedics. Unlike traditional firefighter-style tests, this exam reflects the real demands of EMS—carrying equipment, performing CPR, moving patients, and completing fine motor skills. Starting now, all new hires will complete this test before joining our team.

Beyond agility testing, CNS will also provide ongoing occupational health services to Warwick EMS, including care for work-related injuries, post-exposure testing, vaccinations, lab services, and more.

We’re proud to partner with a local company that understands the needs of our providers and supports the health and readiness of our team. 💪

Is your company thinking about organizing an on-site clinic this year? It doesn’t have to be hard.

Below are 6 steps to organize a clinic for your company:

✅ Get management buy-in to support a flu vaccination clinic at the workplace.
✅ Identify a flu vaccination coordinator and/or team with defined roles and responsibilities.
✅ Work with an experienced outside provider of flu vaccination services.
✅ Schedule the flu vaccination clinic to maximize employee participation, which usually begins in the fall. Consider hosting your vaccination clinic(s) before the end of October.
✅ Consider offering flu vaccination to employees’ families.
✅ Set a goal and show employees how their participation matters. Each year, try to improve upon the percentage of employees vaccinated.

From your first call to the final shot, CNS Occupational Medicine will help make your flu clinic worry-free.

Don't Let PPE Trap the Heat!
Personal protective equipment saves lives — but it can also increase heat stress risk. Hard hats, gloves, coveralls, and masks can trap heat and reduce sweat evaporation.

✅ Choose breathable PPE options
✅ Schedule more frequent breaks for high-gear tasks
✅ Monitor workers wearing heavy equipment

We’ll help you balance safety compliance with heat safety.

🚫🧔 Beard vs. Safety: How Employers Can Handle Pushback
Asking workers to shave for a respirator fit test? That conversation can get prickly.

✅ Educate – Explain it’s about OSHA safety rules, not appearance.
📅 Give Notice – Let employees know test dates in advance.
✂ Offer Style Options – Some mustaches/sideburns might still be fine.
😷 Provide Alternatives – PAPRs can work without a clean shave.
