Laundry Safety ESP^SM (Effective Solutions + Prevention) is a long-term workplace safety initiative of the industrial laundry industry. Led by industry trade associations, Laundry SafetyESP (Effective Solutions + Prevention) is a long-term injury and illness prevention initiative for large-scale textile service operations that wash with water. These include industrial and linen supply laundries, which provide and maintain a wide range of textile products such as employee uniforms, protective wear, floor mats, linens and shop towels. Some companies specialize in linens for the hospitality and healthcare industries. In addition, in-house laundries such as those at healthcare facilities may participate in Laundry Safety ESP.

Textile service operations range from small, family-owned businesses to institutions to Fortune 500 companies. But whatever the size of the company or the range of products and services offered, owners and managers of all of these businesses have one thing in common: A desire to keep their employees as safe and healthy as much as possible.

Participants in Laundry Safety ESP are embarking on a program designed to move our industry into the world-class safety category. We believe the impact of Laundry Safety ESP on our industry and most importantly, on textile service employees, will be extremely positive.
