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.

We review and register elevating device designs, conduct initial inspections and license devices when they conform to the Act, Elevating Device Regulation and adopted safety codes and standards. On existing elevating devices, we conduct periodic inspections based on a risk-based cycle.
