Operating Permits
Overview
Owners and operators of amusement rides and devices, including waterslides, ziplines, train rides, wakeboard tows and inflatables require a permit issued by Technical Safety BC.
An active licence is required in order to obtain a permit for amusement rides and devices. Learn more about how to apply for a licence.
How to Apply
Once your amusement device design has been registered, installed, and has passed the acceptance inspection, an operating permit invoice will be automatically issued.
Pay for a permit through My Account or by calling us within 60 days of passing the acceptance inspection.
How to Renew
Operating permits expire after one year. A renewal invoice will be sent to the permit holder near the permit’s expiry date. It must be paid and renewed before the expiry date to continue operations using this permit.
