Elevating Devices
 Our Elevating Devices (ED) Safety Program is responsible for regulating the safety of more than 43,000 elevating devices in Ontario under the Technical Standards & Safety Act 2000.
Devices that we're responsible for include elevators, escalators, moving walks, lifts for persons with physical disabilities, passenger ropeways, construction hoists and ski lifts.
