TSSA’s Elevating Devices Safety Program regulates elevators in Ontario to ensure all devices conform to the Act and applicable regulations, codes, and standards.

This includes: passenger, freight, hand-powered, observation, sidewalk, temporary, limited use/application elevators, dumbwaiters, material and freight platform lifts, lifts for persons with physical disabilities, man-lifts, construction hoists, incline lifts, stage lifts, and parking garage lifts.

TSSA reviews and registers elevators, issues licences, conducts inspections, performs incident investigations, provides engineering services, registers contractors and certifies mechanics. TSSA works closely with industry, through advisory councils and technical risk reduction committees, to propose improvements and implement effective safety strategies and solutions.
