Thomas (TJ) Lyons, CRIS, OHST, CSP
Safety Professional
Mr. Lyons is a safety professional providing support for select clients here in the United States and overseas. He recently retired after 34 years of working with some of the largest construction firms in the United States. He loves to take what they have taught him and share with the next generation of safety professionals. Board certified as an Occupational Health and Safety Technologist and Certified Safety Professional, his passion is redesigning the workplace. Rather than put cut-resistant gloves on a worker, remove what is cutting their hands. When a firm lamented ladders falls, he convinced them to get rid of their ladders. He calls the idea "Lyonetics," and the philosophy works. From ridding worksites of ladders and stilts to embracing innovations in construction tools and equipment, he sees safety success not in regulations or mandates but in "design intervention."
