formed ESS with the charter of saving lives and protecting the environment
through dust suppression in the indoor and outdoor workplace. In the past
there has been little emphasis placed on air quality in the
construction/demolition workplace. As ESS grows we learn more and more
about the hazards that face these workers everyday; asbestos, silica and mold
are just a few of these hazards.
About Environmental Safety Solutions www.enviroboot.com
Environmental Safety Solutions is a manufacturer of dust suppression
accessories for jackhammers, chipping hammers and hammer drills. ESS
products have been adapted to work with most models of electric, pneumatic and
hydraulic tools. ESS dust suppression accessories capture the dust
generated from concrete demolition utilizing the ENVIROBOOT® which acts as an
intermediary between the demolition tool and the vacuum unit. Use of the
ENVIROBOOT® captures and contains the toxic dust and prevents it from being
dispersed into the surrounding environment. Each year construction
workers, as well as people in the surrounding areas, are exposed to silica and
other airborne carcinogens. By containing airborne particulate matter we
minimize the occurrence of silicosis and other lung diseases.
