Safety on the Move: The Smart Solution for WorkSafeBC Compliance in British Columbia

In British Columbia, where the work can take you from bustling urban construction sites to remote, rugged wilderness, one thing remains constant: the paramount importance of workplace safety. For employers, the legal and ethical responsibility to provide a safe and healthy environment is defined by WorkSafeBC’s Occupational Health and Safety Regulation. When your project’s First Aid Assessment identifies the need for more than a basic first aid kit, a purpose-built first aid trailer is the definitive solution.

Our WorkSafeBC-compliant first aid trailers are not just vehicles; they are mobile safety hubs designed to meet and exceed the stringent requirements of a wide range of industries. Whether your crew is building a new subdivision, filming a movie in a remote forest, or managing a large-scale event, our rental trailers provide the peace of mind that comes with a professional, fully-equipped, and certified first aid facility.

Features That Define Excellence and Compliance

Our first aid trailers are meticulously designed and maintained to ensure they are ready for any emergency. We understand that in a high-pressure situation, every second counts, and the quality of the first aid facility can make a critical difference. Here are the features that set our trailers apart:

• Dedicated, Climate-Controlled Workspace: Our trailers provide a clean, secure, and private environment for the first aid attendant to assess and treat an injured worker. Unlike improvised first aid stations in a truck cab or on-site shed, our units are fully insulated and equipped with heating and air conditioning. This ensures a stable and comfortable environment for the patient, regardless of the season or external weather conditions.
• Comprehensive, WorkSafeBC-Compliant Equipment: Every trailer is stocked with a full inventory of first aid supplies that meet or exceed the requirements for a dressing station or first aid room as outlined in WorkSafeBC’s Schedule 3-A. This includes a wide array of supplies for treating everything from minor cuts to severe trauma.
  • Level 3 First Aid Kit: Our trailers come equipped with the necessary kits for high-hazard and remote workplaces.
  • Oxygen Therapy Unit: A portable oxygen therapy unit, complete with a cylinder, regulator, and mask, is standard in our trailers, as required by WorkSafeBC for higher-level first aid facilities.
  • Advanced Medical Supplies: We include a full range of splints, bandages, dressings, and instruments, meticulously organized and ready for immediate use.
  • Patient Assessment and Care Tools: Each unit includes a stretcher, a first aid chair, and a head immobilizer to ensure safe and effective patient handling.
• Integrated Communication Systems: For remote worksites, reliable communication is non-negotiable. Our trailers are equipped with both two-way radio and cellular communication systems to ensure the first aid attendant can seamlessly contact emergency services, site supervisors, and other personnel. This is a critical component of a WorkSafeBC-compliant emergency response plan.
• Emergency Transportation Capability: For remote and less-accessible workplaces, WorkSafeBC mandates a means of transporting an injured worker. Our trailers, often mounted on robust, four-wheel-drive trucks, are designed to serve as a Mobile Treatment Centre (MTC) and emergency transport vehicle (ETV). They are capable of navigating challenging terrain to bring a patient to a pre-arranged rendezvous point with a BCEHS ambulance, significantly reducing the time to definitive care.
• Essential Onboard Amenities: Going beyond the minimum requirements, our trailers include features that improve the quality of care and the functionality of the unit. This includes a freshwater tank and eye wash station, ensuring immediate access to clean water for sanitation and emergency procedures.

The Smart Business Decision: Why Renting is the Right Choice

Owning and maintaining a first aid trailer is a significant long-term commitment. For many businesses in British Columbia, renting offers a superior, more flexible, and cost-effective solution.

• Cost Efficiency: Avoid the large upfront capital expenditure of purchasing a unit. Renting allows you to manage costs on a project-by-project basis, freeing up capital for other business needs. You only pay for the trailer when you need it, eliminating the costs of long-term storage, insurance, and depreciation.
• Guaranteed Compliance: Staying current with WorkSafeBC regulations can be a complex task. When you rent from us, you can rest assured that our trailers are meticulously maintained, regularly inspected, and fully stocked with current and non-expired supplies. We handle the compliance details so you can focus on your project.
• Flexibility and Scalability: Your first aid needs may vary dramatically from one project to the next. Renting allows you to choose the exact size and specifications of the trailer you need for each specific worksite. Whether you need a compact unit for a small crew or a larger, fully-equipped MTC for a major operation, we can provide a tailored solution.
• Expert Support: We are more than just a rental company; we are your partners in safety. Our team is here to help you conduct your first aid assessment, understand your WorkSafeBC requirements, and select the perfect first aid trailer to ensure your crew is protected and your operation is compliant.
