About SafeSpace Company, LLC, MO

SafeSpace© Company originated as an Internet sales-based business located in Springfield, Missouri, where it still operates today. The company was organized and founded as a Missouri corporation in 2005 by Richard “Rick” Williams, a 30-year health care executive who worked in both hospitals and home care hospices. He previously served his country as an Army Green Beret and a medic during the Vietnam era, later earning his degree in health care administration.

In the early 1970s, Rick experienced first-hand the effects of a staph infection that he acquired during surgery as a kidney donor for his sister. Experiencing that staph infection and later illnesses related to travel and different work environments, Rick began to study and research disease transmission and infection chains. He soon realized that no matter how many persons, how much time, or even how much disinfectant is used to traditionally “hand clean” a space, just a few missed spots of contamination could make all the effort, time, and expense completely wasted.

Armed with this revelation, Rick realized there had to be a way to disinfect ALL of the surfaces, ALL at the same time if complete disinfection was to be achieved. He also knew as an experienced healthcare executive that the process had to be low cost and easy to implement. In the late 1990s, Rick began researching illness data, disinfectant efficacies, and off-the-shelf aerosol technology. And after years of trial-and-error, the FIRST and the ORIGINAL, low-cost, easy-to-use germ fogger prototypes were created to take cleaning and disinfecting to a higher standard.

Rick and other associated professionals continue to study how people live, interact, and spread illness throughout the environment. And using those combined insights, ongoing research, and over a decade of customer feedback, SafeSpace© Company continues to bring new and completely original “disinfecting innovations” to the market.
