Elevator Mechanic Certification
Elevating Devices Certification Programs
TSSA administers the certification of occupations regulated under the Technical Standards and Safety Act, 2000 and helps ensure all certification programs are responsive to industry needs through a Training and Certification Advisory Board (TCAB). Comprised of industry representatives, the TCAB for Elevating Devices Mechanics assists us in developing training standards, shaping certification policies and procedures, disseminating information to the industry and review of regulations.
Working in partnership with industry, TSSA’s aim is to continuously improve certification services in our endless pursuit of greater public safety.
Getting Started
An elevator mechanic is a certified professional who constructs, installs, alters, repairs, maintains or tests various classes of elevating devices as set out in Ontario Regulations 209/01 and 222/01 (Elevating Devices). TSSA in turn regulates the certification for each class of elevating devices mechanic. For more information on certificate classes and certification procedures, please refer to:
