Operating a remote worksite in Western Canada comes with a complex set of safety obligations. Whether you are in forestry, mining, or oil and gas, ensuring your crew has access to a WorkSafeBC Level 3 compliant Mobile Treatment Centre (MTC) is not just a best practice—it is often a legal requirement.
At Code Three, we receive many questions about the difference between an MTC and an Emergency Transport Vehicle (ETV). While the terms are often used interchangeably, the critical factor is the equipment and certification inside the unit.
Key Requirements for Industrial Compliance:
-
CMVSS Certification: Any medical slide-in must meet Canadian Motor Vehicle Safety Standards to ensure patient and attendant safety during transit.
-
Headroom & Workspace: Effective patient care requires space. Our units offer 72″ of headroom to allow attendants to work comfortably.
-
Medical Inventory: From dual stretcher capabilities to O2 tank holders and stainless sinks, your unit must be ready for a Level 3 First Aid kit.
Meeting Provincial Standards Our units are specifically engineered to meet WorkSafeBC and Alberta OHS regulations. By choosing a purpose-built MTC, you reduce project downtime and ensure that your site is prepared for any emergency.
If you are unsure which unit your site requires based on your distance from a hospital or crew size, our team in Kelowna is here to help.
