This Directive is being issued by a provincial safety manager pursuant to section 30 of the Safety Standards Act.

General Details

This Directive specifies the applicable method and/or form(s) to notify Technical Safety BC when non-compliances are corrected by the duty holder.

Specific Details

As per requirement 20(3) of the Safety Standards General Regulation, this Directive applies to Passenger Ropeways and Passenger Conveyors for which a Certificate of Inspection (“COI”) has been issued where non-compliances have been identified by the Passenger Ropeways safety officer. A declaration must be submitted to Technical Safety BC that the correction(s) have been completed within the timeframe specified on the COI.

It is hereby directed that the process to declare a non-compliance as corrected for all Passenger Ropeway and Passenger Conveyor licensed contractors and/or licensed contractors representatives shall be either:

1. Correction of the non-compliance in real-time using Technical Safety BC’s Online Services available at https://portal.technicalsafetybc.ca/login; or
2. Submission of the ”Amusement ride / passenger ropeway information system confirmation of correction of non-compliances” form.

Whichever method is used, be sure to include all relevant documentation to support the correction(s) including pictures, test or other declaration forms, or other proof as indicated by the safety officer on the COI.

Failure to correct a non-compliance within the timeframe specified on a COI, where no extension has been granted by the safety officer, may result in enforcement action(s).
