All TKS industrial site vehicles are thoroughly inspected and maintained every 5000 kilometers or three months. All vehicles are equipped with environmental spill kits, back-up beepers, visual identity, road safety equipment, 10-pound fire extinguishers and three separate state of-the-art mobile communications systems. TKS will not place on any industrial site any vehicle that is not four-wheel drive. 

Our MTC’s exceed the British Columbia and Alberta Occupational Health and Safety requirements and they meet the federal (Transport Canada) Canadian Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (CMVSS). Diesel units are equipped with positive air shut offs. Treatment centres and First Aid supplies are heated 24/7 to ensure immediate warm treatment of patients and to avoid freezing and damaging the supplies, which include the oxygen. (Cold oxygen can harm lungs). MTC M tanks hold well over 4 hours of oxygen supply. Every MTC is inventoried and restocked bi-weekly and at the beginning of every new dispatch. Treatment centres are mounted on four-wheel drive truck platforms with aggressive snowflake-rated all-season tires and where required, tire chains. 

TKS basket stretchers are kept clean and dry in tough, waterproof bags that can be carried, dragged, or towed by an ATV or snowmobile from the MTC to an immobilized off-road patient. Along with the stretcher, each bag contains a hard back board, clam shell (scoop stretcher), a variety of splints, head and body restraints (including a set of hard collars, sandbags and spider straps), blankets and pillows, and a 45- minute oxygen supply. The medic, who would normally arrive on the scene ahead of the stretcher, also carries a separate 20-minute supply of oxygen and a professional trauma jump bag exceeding WorkSafeBC jump bag requirements.
