Protecting the Protectors: Safety and Sustainability in EVS

The Environmental Services (EVS) team is the backbone of hospital safety. Every day, these professionals handle powerful chemistries to keep pathogens at bay. However, traditional "old-school" cleaners can be incredibly harsh on the people using them, leading to skin irritation, respiratory issues, and long-term health concerns.

The Shift Toward Safer Chemistry

Modern healthcare facilities are moving away from caustic, "scorched-earth" chemicals in favor of smarter, safer alternatives.

• The Problem with Caustics: Traditional acid-based drain openers can damage pipes and create dangerous fumes. Harsh surface cleaners can degrade expensive medical equipment over time.

• The HES Approach: We prioritize products that are "tough on germs, but easy on people."

  • Our biological drain treatments replace dangerous acids with natural enzymes.

  • Our disinfectants are selected for their balance of high efficacy and lower toxicity profiles.

Staff Retention and Safety

By providing your team with HES products, you are demonstrating a commitment to their well-being. This leads to higher staff morale, lower turnover, and a safer workplace. At HES, we believe that a healthy environment starts with the products used to create it.
