Cross Safety Management was founded on a simple belief: every worker deserves to go home safe, and every company deserves a safety partner that operates with integrity. Since 2015, that belief has guided everything we do.
In 2015, Fernando Patino founded Cross Safety Management out of a deep conviction — not a business plan. There was no outside funding, no investors, no private equity backing. Just a man with decades of safety experience, a relentless work ethic, and a faith-driven belief that he could build something meaningful.
Fernando saw an industry full of checkbox compliance and paper-thin safety programs. He knew workers deserved better. He knew companies deserved a partner who would actually show up, walk the job site, and treat their people like family.
What started as a one-man operation in Indiana has grown into a team of approximately 22 professionals serving clients across the United States and Canada — all without a single dollar of outside investment.
Fernando didn't pick the name “Cross” by accident. He named this company deliberately — because his faith isn't just a personal belief, it's the foundation of how he runs his business.
He wants Christ represented authentically in everything CSM does — not performatively, not as a marketing strategy, but through the way his team treats people, honors commitments, and serves clients. The Cross in the name is a promise: you're working with people who answer to a higher standard.
These aren't just words on a wall. They're the principles that shape every hire, every project, and every client relationship.
Our faith is the foundation of everything we do. It drives us to treat every client, every worker, and every project with honesty, transparency, and loyalty.
We do the right thing even when no one is watching. Our clients trust us with their people's lives — that responsibility shapes every decision we make.
We treat your crew like our own family. Every worker on every site deserves someone who is genuinely committed to getting them home safe.
We don't just complete contracts — we build lasting relationships. Our success is measured by the long-term safety and growth of the companies we serve.
From OSHA citation defense to enterprise risk assessments, our team brings specialized expertise that most safety firms simply don't offer.
Our leadership team combines decades of safety expertise with a genuine commitment to serving clients and their workers.
