When people think of testing, they most likely envision a laboratory, white lab coats and a sterile environment. We are not such a company. Environmental Services & Solutions Corporation (Essco – Safety Check) is a leader in mobile X-Ray Fluorescence (XRF) testing services, we specialize in helping people and businesses know what is in their environment. We use technology to identify potentially harmful elements within consumer products and other materials and we can identify such elements as lead, cadmium, arsenic, mercury, many other, as well as identify Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC).
We started this company (in 2007) to help share information with parents, concerned individuals and businesses by helping them identify potentially harmful consumer products with the use of laboratory-grade, handheld, X-ray Fluorescence (XRF) analyzers. Our goal is to provide quality elemental information, fast and efficiently all while being cost effective and scientifically accurate. With this knowledge, people and businesses can make educated decisions as to what they are exposed to or the products they are selling.
What we do is work directly with the consumer in one-on-one in-home inspections or in larger group settings such as toy testing parties and community events; we can test toys, ceramics, jewelry, virtually any consumer product (non-destructively). We can work with retailers and businesses to test products; and, we can work in industrial settings, manufactures, ports of call and on the proactive side to maintain machines to ensure when parts need replacing prior to them failing.
Our testing is not done in the laboratory, each location becomes our laboratory. Essco -Safety Check uses XRF Analyzers, along with sophisticated proprietary software, photography and meta-data collection to provide elemental information and report generation capabilities of virtually anything. Essentially, we simply select our item to be tested and point and click with our analyzer. We let the analyzer do its job and then we provide this information in an easy to use format, digitally to the end user.
We are a family who simply wishes to help people and businesses understand their environment and help to reduce potential toxic exposure with the use of technology and information. If you are an informed consumer, you can make the educated decisions in your life as to what your child plays with, what you and your family eat off of, what you wear as jewelry or interact with on a daily basis. We hope to work more with manufactures rather than the end consumer, helping to reduce the amount of toxic items that reach the shelves.
We have become environmental epidemiologists and forensic elemental specialists!
