Christopher Haase’s Summary

The ESS story… when a day job & career vision merge

As a professional with experience in overall facility, environmental, health and safety management and compliance. I joined (ESS) Environmentally Sensitive Solution, Inc. nearly four years ago as an Environmental, Health and Safety Director…. I was amazed by their concern for Environmental & Safety regulations in the cleaning industry and the vision of replacing all hazardous cleaners throughout industry. After a few small projects I realized the vast impact on Environmental, Health and Safety of replacing the hazardous cleaners in just one industrial company. Removing millions of gallons of process waste & hazardous chemicals in a simple process change? It seemed too good to be true until I saw the upstream and downstream influence.

While there is much more to this and every story, this is the “nutshell version”
Seriously, why does your company use hazardous cleaners?
