Tyler Rains

Tyler is the Founder and President of Good Sense Workplace Safety. He established the firm in 2009 to help organizations build practical, defensible health and safety systems that work in the real world and stand up under regulatory scrutiny.

With more than 15 years of experience, Tyler has advised senior leaders across construction, energy, manufacturing, and industrial sectors. He is a trusted advisor and mentor to executives and operational leaders who need clear, no-nonsense guidance on managing risk, demonstrating due diligence and aligning safety with business performance.

Tyler designs lean, enforceable safety systems that reflect how work is actually done. His approach is grounded in operational reality and business analysis, recognizing that safety decisions affect productivity, costs and the bottom line. As a business owner himself, he understands the real world implications of overbuilt or impractical systems and works closely with leadership teams to develop fit-for-purpose solutions.

His credibility is built on time spent on the tools. Tyler began his career as a carpenter and journeyman scaffolder in high-risk construction environments, a background that shapes how he advises leaders today. He holds the Canadian Registered Safety Professional designation, is certified as a Construction Safety Officer through BCIT, and has formal occupational health and safety training from the University of New Brunswick.
