Duncan Health and Safety Consulting

Helping businesses across Duncan and the Cowichan Valley build safer workplaces, meet WorkSafeBC requirements, and reduce injuries.

Occupational Health & Safety Support for Duncan Businesses

Duncan and the surrounding Cowichan Valley have a huge range of industries, from construction and trades to manufacturing, aquaculture, agriculture, retail and childcare. Most of these businesses need a safety program, but many don’t have the staff, time or expertise to keep everything compliant.

This is where GreenSpine Safety Solutions helps.

Based just minutes away in Cobble Hill, I support businesses throughout Duncan and North Cowichan with practical, understandable and WorkSafeBC-aligned safety systems. You get a real safety program you can use, not a generic binder.
