The Technical Standards and Safety Authority (TSSA) is a highly recognized inspection authority in North America. Our inspectors examine elevating devices prior to start-up and periodically during operation to ensure compliance with the Technical Standards and Safety Act, as well as any other applicable regulations and adopted safety codes and standards.
Inspectors seek to control the public's exposure to dangerous situations stemming from defective elevating devices.
If a hazard exists, TSSA inspectors will evaluate the amount of risk it poses to the public and issue compliance orders to the owners and/or licence holders of the device. In extremely hazardous situations, inspectors have the authority to remove the elevating device from operation. In the event an inspector has issued an order which may come into question, we advise contractors/owners/operators to follow our Inspection Order Resolution Protocol to have their concerns reviewed.
