Company
Protecting People Through Science Based Solutions. Consolidated Safety Services, Inc. (CSS) was incorporated in 1988 to provide health and safety services to the public and private sectors.
A note from our Founders
In 1988, we co-founded this firm with the vision of combining the rapid advances occurring in technology with a fundamental understanding of scientific principles to promote and ensure healthier and safer environments. We adopted as our motto, “Scientific Minds. Common Sense Solutions” because it highlights the scientific approach we bring to our clients’ concerns. Through time, we have expanded the services we offer and have diversified the customers we serve, but we are pleased and proud that we have remained true to our vision.
As our company grew, we recognized that CSS’ next-generation growth strategy would be rooted in sharing the financial success with our greatest asset…our employees. In 2012, we became 100% employee-owned through the creation of an Employee Stock Ownership Plan, which now provides all our employees equity ownership in their company.
The creativity, enthusiasm, and commitment of our talented employee-owners have made it possible for CSS to make a positive difference in our world. We are confident that together we will accomplish our mission to “Apply science and technology to create a healthier, safer, and environmentally sustainable future” and continue to be in the vanguard of solution providers for many years to come. Thank you for visiting our website.
