SIGNIFICANT ENVIRONMENTAL ASPECTS

Essential Safety Solutions examines its key processes to discover how these processes interact with the environment. Based on these interactions, the company then identifies its “significant environmental aspects.” These aspects are where work processes have a significant or measurable impact on the environment. Many of these aspects fall under legal requirements, however some aspects may relate to the Environmental Policy commitments of improving performance and preventing pollution.

Essential Safety Solutions is committed to continual evaluation and improvement of its environmental system. This policy is applicable to all Essential Safety Solutions work sites and operations.
