An active safety culture exists within TJCross Engineers, Inc. Our firm promotes and incorporates Safety in Design and Operations through the following practices:

• TJCross utilizes the most current versions of industry Safety in Design standards and guidelines on each project design activity that is undertaken.
• TJCross participates in specialty seminars and learning opportunities in trade organizations such as AIChE (American Institute of Chemical Engineers), SEAOC (Structural Engineers Association of California), and similar professional groups.
• TJCross actively seeks input from our client's representatives and stakeholders regarding access, operability, reliability, and serviceability when we roll out a preliminary design concept for review. This proactive approach is illustrated when we are allowed to approach a project on an integrated team basis by including the materials supplier, field construction and operations personnel, representatives of the installation contractor, etc and can get together on regular intervals as the design proceeds. Another opportunity for design enhancement occurs when we are given the opportunity to participate in a constructability review, where safe practices and safety in design are focused upon in detail.
• Process safety is of top priority in our firm. TJCross is flexible enough that our firm does not have to staff the actual individuals who change Facility Definition Drawings such as the P&ID, but it is imperative for someone to be responsible for a safe design, updates to the Management of Change process, and ensuring that a design (or design change) is technically sound. This is paramount to ensuring a safe and reliable work environment.
• TJCross enjoys the benefit of our clients' Management and Safety representatives joining our staff at our regular safety meetings and at TJCross office luncheons to share safe practice ideas, lessons learned, and changes to safety rules and requirements. These sharing opportunities have gone a long way toward steering our entire staff into philosophical alignment with our clients on the importance and benefits of safe design and work practices.
• Our firm participates regularly in HAZOP, What If, and Safety System Function analyses for our clients to ensure our designs and the designs of others are reliable, serviceable, and will protect against unforeseen failure modes.
• TJCross has an active Behavior Based Safety (BBS) office safety program that all staff members participate in.
• Our company fosters an active and proactive safety culture.  Our impressive safety statistics attest to this fact.  Since the inception of our company in 1990, we have experienced zero (0) employee recordable OSHA incidents, zero (0) on-the-job illnesses and injuries, and zero (0) moving accidents involving company vehicles.  Our current and past worker compensation ratings have consistently been low (0.83 or lower).  Safety awareness topics, both on and off the job, are presented and discussed at monthly safety meetings, during client project meetings, on our firm’s local area network homepage, and in our company newsletter.  Management is fully responsible for enforcing on-the-job safety and promoting safety awareness.

The concept that many TJCross industrial clients have often noted that "We want everyone to go home at night in the same condition as they went to work in the morning" is a great reminder that Safe Practices and Safety in Design affects all us and our family members. The TJCross staff remains focused on safe design and operations.
