Local construction workers stay safe and healthy while working outside

105! That was the record high for Friday afternoon. A record breaking day for the Borderland.

With temperatures remaining in the triple digits local construction workers find many ways to stay safe while working outside.

Terio Tanejo, a construction worker, tells us that staying hydrated along with eating healthy meals is key to staying cool outside.

Bill Field, safety officer for local construction workers, has a drinking routine for his employees. He reminds his workers to stay away from alcohol and any drinks that contain caffeine.

Both Tanejo and Fields recommend that other outdoor workers drink beverages that contain electrolytes.

Staying in the shade and wearing long sleeves is also key to staying safe in the sun.

With triple digit temperatures sticking around in the forecast, preparing yourself for the heat is the best option this summer.
