Studio first aid trailers qualify as a “First Aid Room” per WorksafeBC regulations. They are equipped with a bed, first aid chair, oxygen equipment, toilet, and all other WorksafeBC recommendations for first aid rooms in BC.

In British Columbia, workplace safety isn’t just a priority—it’s a legal obligation. For employers operating in remote, less-accessible, or high-hazard environments, providing an appropriate first aid facility is a critical component of their WorkSafeBC-mandated safety plan. A mobile first aid trailer is often the most practical and effective solution, ensuring that prompt and professional medical care is always on-site. But what exactly makes a first aid trailer compliant and truly effective?

Our fleet of first aid trailers is specifically designed to meet or exceed all WorkSafeBC requirements, providing a safe, clean, and fully-equipped environment for treating injured workers. Here’s a breakdown of the key features that make our trailers the ideal choice for your worksite.

1. WorkSafeBC-Compliant Design & Structure

Our trailers are more than just a box on wheels; they are a purpose-built medical facility. Each unit is a self-contained environment that adheres to the strict standards for a first aid room, as outlined in the WorkSafeBC Occupational Health and Safety Regulation. This includes:

• Private and Secure Environment: A dedicated space with a lockable door, ensuring privacy and dignity for the injured worker during treatment and examination.
• Easy Access: The trailer is designed for easy entry and exit, with a focus on accommodating a stretcher without having to tip or turn it. This is a crucial requirement for safely transporting a worker with a serious injury.
• Optimal Climate Control: Equipped with reliable heating and cooling systems, our trailers maintain a comfortable and safe temperature for both the patient and the first aid attendant, regardless of the external weather conditions.
• Sufficient Lighting & Ventilation: The interior is brightly lit to allow for proper assessment of injuries. Adequate ventilation ensures a supply of fresh air and a hygienic environment.

2. Comprehensive Medical Equipment & Supplies

A first aid trailer is only as good as its contents. Our units are outfitted with a full complement of medical equipment and supplies, catering to a range of potential injuries and meeting the requirements for a Level 3 First Aid kit (equivalent to the Advanced First Aid Kit under the new CSA-aligned standards). This includes:

• Advanced First Aid Kits: Our kits are fully stocked with a wide range of supplies, from basic bandages and dressings to more advanced items required for high-risk environments. This includes, but is not limited to:
  • Assorted sterile dressings and bandages.
  • Antiseptic and wound cleansing solutions.
  • Splints, triangular bandages, and slings.
  • Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) like gloves, face masks, and eye protection.
  • Eye wash station.
• First Aid Attendant Station: A dedicated area for the first aid attendant, complete with a chair and a table or counter for organizing supplies and documenting incidents.
• Examination Cot: A clean, comfortable, and moisture-proof examination cot is provided, ensuring a hygienic and stable surface for treating the injured worker.
• Stretcher & Immobilization Equipment: A compliant stretcher is always on board, along with essential immobilization equipment such as head immobilizers and neck collars. This is vital for managing potential spinal injuries and ensuring safe transportation.
• Oxygen Therapy Unit: Our trailers are equipped with a portable oxygen therapy unit, including a compressed oxygen cylinder, regulator, and rebreathing masks. This is a critical component for addressing breathing difficulties and other serious medical conditions.

3. Essential Utilities for a Self-Sufficient Facility

In remote locations, a first aid trailer must be self-sufficient. Our units are designed to function independently, providing all the necessary utilities for effective medical care.

• Potable Water: A clean and readily available source of fresh, potable water is a non-negotiable requirement. Our trailers feature a hot and cold running water system with a large, fresh water tank, allowing for proper handwashing and wound irrigation.
• Power and Communication: The trailers are equipped with reliable power sources to run all the lighting, heating, and medical equipment. A communication system, such as a telephone or two-way radio, is also included to ensure the first aid attendant can easily call for emergency services.

4. Emergency Transportation Features

For less-accessible workplaces, a first aid trailer often doubles as an emergency vehicle. Our units are built with these scenarios in mind.

• Secure Stretcher Mounts: The interior of the trailer is designed to securely mount a stretcher, preventing movement and minimizing jarring during transportation over rough terrain.
• Protection from the Elements: The enclosed nature of the trailer protects the injured worker from dust, wind, rain, and extreme temperatures, helping to maintain their body temperature and overall well-being.

5. Ready for Rapid Deployment

Our first aid trailers are designed for ease of use and rapid deployment. They can be quickly and easily set up at any worksite, providing an immediate solution for your first aid facility needs. This is particularly valuable for projects with a short duration or for sites where a permanent structure is not feasible.

By choosing our first aid trailer rentals, you are not only providing a top-of-the-line medical facility for your workers but also demonstrating a commitment to safety that is fully aligned with WorkSafeBC regulations. We offer a simple, effective, and compliant solution to a complex workplace safety challenge, giving you peace of mind and your workers the assurance that they are protected.
