Passenger Ropeways

To support the remote assessment process for an existing passenger ropeway, you will be asked to provide specific evidence that clearly demonstrates that your existing passenger ropeway or conveyor meets the requirements of the Act, Regulation, and the CSA Z98-14 Safety Standard.

Types of evidence that may be requested by your local safety officer include, but are not limited to:

• Photo or videos logs (time-stamped when necessary)
• Live video conferencing
• Documentation (PDFs, Word, etc.), which includes the following passenger ropeway pre-operation inspection checklist declarations:
• Above-surface circulating ropeways
• Surface ropeways, including those using secondary carriers
• Rope tows – wire and fibre, including those using secondary carriers
• Passenger conveyors
• Reversible and industrial ropeways

For more information on these declarations, see Passenger ropeway and passenger conveyor contractors' pre-operation inspection declaration.

Assessments related to a new installation, or an alteration, will be dealt with on a case-by-case basis. Your local Safety Officer will contact you directly about these assessments.

Remote assessment requests will continue to be processed as per the current procedure, and upon completion and receipt of the certificate of inspection, you will be invoiced according to the Passenger Ropeways Fee Schedule.

For more information about remote assessments, contact our passenger ropeways team.

If you have non-compliances on your Certificate of Inspection (COI), you are legally required to declare when corrections have been made. Declare through Online Services or using this form by the due date(s) of your non-compliances. Failure to correct non-compliances by their due dates may result in compliance and enforcement action. If you believe an extension is warranted, submit your request through Online Services or by contacting the safety officer listed on your Certificate of Inspection.
