Accident on the Job. When an accident has occurred that is properly established as a WorkSafeBC claim and the attending physician advises the Employer that the employee will have to be off work, the Employer, at its option, may pay return fare to point of hire, or shall be responsible for provision of free room and board, except when such is supplied by WorkSafeBC.

Transportation to the nearest physician or hospital for an employee requiring medical care as a result of an accident on the job shall not be at the expense of the employee.
