Greenspine Safety Solutions

Greenspine Safety Solutions is an occupational health and safety consulting firm based in Cobble Hill, British Columbia. Founded and led by Dan McMillan, it serves small and mid-sized employers on Vancouver Island, the Lower Mainland and in Alberta, with in-person and remote delivery.

The firm says it started to close the gap for businesses that need safety expertise but cannot justify a full-time safety professional. Its approach is to learn how a business actually operates before writing any policy, and it avoids generic templates in favor of programs that supervisors and workers can follow. McMillan reports more than 20 years of combined occupational health and safety experience, including 10 years in the British Columbia forestry sector, across construction, oil and gas, aquaculture, manufacturing, municipal operations, retail and marine services.

• Safety training: online courses delivered through the BIS safety platform, which the site says offers over 2,000 courses
