What is Green/EHS?

Air quality and surface hygiene , have a profound effect on the health of the individuals who use buildings. We spend more than 80% of our time indoors. Our lives are greatly impacted by these factors. We address these important areas by what is known as, “Environmental Health Services” (EHS).

New System is the only EHS certified distributor of certification education programs and products in our service area. We understand and teach these processes.

EHS is the way a facility is maintained through services, which have been certified as implementing environmental health policies, utilizing monitoring and reporting practices. Such positive attributes promote the improvement of environmental health, while encouraging the use of healthy technologies and best practices. Recognized EHS programs have taken a leading role in developing and suggesting new areas of policy for improved indoor air quality and hygiene of buildings.

Over 33% of a community’s population, pass through educational facilities each day. Together we can help impact healthier indoor environments for these schools. At New System it is our goal to provide a means of continued progress, that will serve your facility well as you strive to attain these progressive levels of health. We offer professional education and certification of these programs through an international certification firm, GCI (Green Clean Institute) which is accredited by FAL (Foundation for Accredited Learning).

The procedures used and the way products are evaluated, must be updated to first meet the requirements of health, and not simply how clean a surface looks. We invite you to join a growing number of New System clients who have embraced having their staff certified in EHS best practices.

Here are just a few:
