* BC regulations categorize industries in the province into three different hazard classifications (low, medium and high) and then further divide each classification into two groups depending on surface travel time to medical aid. For further detailed information, please contact your provincial council office for St. John Ambulance or our National Office.

** Transportation to medical treatment may include a taxi, a company vehicle, or an ambulance, depending on the injured or ill worker's condition.
