The Technical Standards and Safety Authority (TSSA) performs different types of inspections for the elevation devices industry in Ontario.
New elevating devices
Before a new device is licensed for operation, we perform an acceptance inspection to ensure that the elevating device conforms to its registered design submission and applicable national safety standards.
Existing equipment
We conduct periodic inspections of existing elevating device equipment based on a risk-based inspection model. How often a device is inspected depends on the level of risk we calculate using this model. The higher the level of risk, the shorter the re-inspection cycle is.
