B.S. Engineering

Mr. Tilley's main area of expertise lies in risk and safety management and he provides management support to the Risk Management and Safety Group. His primary responsibilities include conducting site visits, preparation of documents and advising staff. He has:

  • Served as lead project engineer to assist facilities that handle hazardous materials in addressing EPA's Risk Management Program (RMP) and OSHA's Process Safety Management (PSM).
  • Provided support by arranging project schedules, delegating and reviewing work, interfacing with client and regulator contacts, and finally ensuring the quality of the final product.
  • Successfully assisted with the creation of some of first California Accidental Release Prevention (CalARP) programs to be accepted by Administering Agencies across the state.
  • Took an active role in Tracer's successful efforts in preparing and submitting over 100 Risk Management Plans for facilities across the country by EPA's deadline in June 1999.
  • Applied experience to preparing piping and instrumentation diagrams (P&IDs), report documentation, participating in Hazard and Operability Studies (as the recorder and/or quality assurance), preparing qualitative risk assessments, and conducting off-site consequence analyses.
  • Worked closely with regulators and client contacts, including both corporate representatives and field personnel, to produce a quality product that is acceptable by both the client and the local regulators.
  • Supported the operations of an atmospheric tracer study for the County Sanitation Districts of Los Angeles County to determine whether air transport can occur from a landfill waste site to a neighboring residential community by handling pre-test preparation of sampling equipment, taking field measurements, and report generation.

Prior to joining Tracer, Mr. Tilley was the team leader for a school clinic project sponsored by ARCO Transportation. The team established recommendations for the imminent replacement of ARCO's steam-powered oil tankers by diesel-powered tankers. The emissions of the current fleet were compared with theoretical calculations for the diesel fleet. A cost analysis was performed to determine which fleet would be most economical.
