Environmental Health & Safety Solutions

What Environmental Health & Safety Solutions does

Environmental Health & Safety Solutions (EHSS) is a privately held environmental, health, and safety consulting firm headquartered in Fernandina Beach, Florida with a regional office in Parkton, Maryland. The company was founded in 2011 by a team of senior professionals holding Bachelor's and Master's degrees and elite industry certifications including Certified Industrial Hygienist (CIH), Certified Safety Professional (CSP), Certified Hazardous Materials Manager (CHMM), Registered Environmental Manager (REM), Occupational Health and Safety Technologist (OHST), and Certified Environmental Auditor (CEA). EHSS delivers project-based consulting services across environmental compliance, industrial hygiene monitoring, occupational health and safety program development, training, natural resources, and expert witness engagements to clients in transportation, manufacturing, construction, fabrication, petroleum, shipping, real estate, and the public sector including Department of Defense facilities.

The firm's most distinctive technical asset is a patented autonomous, solar-powered sound recording device designed and developed by Travis Trader to test and certify locomotive horns for compliance with Federal Railroad Administration regulations (49 CFR Parts 222 and 229). The device performs daily self-calibration, records ambient air temperature, humidity, and wind velocity, exceeds IEC Standard 61672-1 for a Class 2 instrument, and transmits results via cellular or Ethernet communications, completing a full test cycle in less than six minutes. EHSS complements this with a lower-cost portable employee-operated testing system and a service offering where an EHSS Industrial Hygienist travels to client sites to perform testing, calibration, and signed certifications. Beyond railroad compliance, the firm conducts multi-media environmental compliance audits, air and noise monitoring for contaminants such as respirable silica, diesel exhaust, airborne lead, welding fumes, and hexavalent chromium, and operates waste management compliance tracking programs that have processed over 50,000 waste shipments across 200+ facilities for a Fortune 500 client over three years.

EHSS generates revenue through professional services engagements and equipment sales, with all project work delivered by senior personnel rather than junior staff, a deliberate choice that supports defensibility of work products in legal and regulatory forums. The firm is certified as a Minority Business Enterprise (MBE), Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE), and Small Business Enterprise (SBE), and holds an active GSA contract providing preferential access to federal procurement opportunities. Go-to-market is enterprise field sales with direct client engagement by senior professionals; the firm relies on its website and inbound phone inquiries rather than digital or content marketing channels, and pricing is quote-based with no public disclosure.
