Proposed Changes to Amusement Devices Regulations – Technical Safety BC
Proposed Changes to Amusement Devices Regulations
To improve the safety of British Columbians, the Province of BC has amended the Safety Standards Act to include amusement devices. Pending changes to the regulations, this will bring previously unregulated amusement devices under Technical Safety BC’s safety oversight. In collaboration with industry partners, TSBC have re-designed their safety oversight model to include substantive changes to the ways in which amusement rides and devices are regulated.
Their re-designed oversight program promotes a culture of safety by providing operators with tools and guidance to develop safety practices and make plans to mitigate risks that may be associated with their operations.
Proposed regulatory changes to the program are currently under review with the Ministry of Housing. We will update this page with further information as it becomes available.
