No.: Rev. No.: Safety Division 194 / 08 Enforcement Procedure Date: Date: Bulletin October 8, 2008 Subject: Regulation of Parking Garage Lifts (PGL’s) Sent to: All PGL Suppliers, Contractors, Installers, Consultants 1. INTRODUCTION 1.1. General All elevating devices in Ontario are subject to the requirements of Ontario Regulation 209/01 (Elevating Devices) made under the Technical Standards and Safety Act, 2000, unless the type of elevating device is specifically excluded from the Regulation. The elevating devices regulation (209/01) has been recently amended by O.Reg 252/08 (effective January 1, 2009) and now clearly references Parking Garage Lifts (PGL’s) as one of the many forms of regulated elevating devices. Elevating devices used to elevate or lower vehicle(s) for the purpose of storing (parking) the vehicle are included in the Regulation. A primary reason to reference and not exempt PGL’s is that they are not specifically regulated by any other Ontario Regulation designed to protect the public. Therefore any persons involved with the ownership, operation, installation, and maintenance of these types of elevating devices used in publicly accessible locations are expected to comply with the requirements set forth in the Act and Regulation. The Act and the Regulation specifies a person’s responsibilities. The increase in PGL installations has prompted TSSA to work with the PGL industry to ensure the requirements of the elevating devices regulation are understood and the requirements followed for PGL installations and maintenance. As the regulatory requirements are new to many in this industry, TSSA is working to implement a phased approach to regulatory fulfillment. The purpose of this document is to inform responsible parties on the compliance requirements under the Regulations. Since compliance is expected to be achieved in stages, this document also specifies the minimum requirements and implementation timelines. 1.2. Subject of this Bulletin This bulletin is intended to outline the requirements related to Parking Garage Lifts. The Regulation defines PGL as: “Parking Garage Lift” means an elevating device that is used for lifting or lowering a vehicle in or about a parking facility. This document is meant to address: 1. PGL Stackers - devices where vehicles are stored and are of the format: o PGL-Simple Stacker –A parking lift that has vertical motion only o PGL-Complex Stacker –A parking system which is not solely limited to vertical motion Note: No persons ever ride a stacker. 3300 Bloor Street West, 14th Floor, Centre Tower, Toronto, Ontario M8X 2X4 Telephone: 416-734-3300 Fax: 416-231-5435 Toll Free: 1-877-682-8772 Putting Public Safety First ED-194-08 - PGL's.doc 1/7 2. PGL-Transfer Area – An area from which vehicles are transferred to, or returned from, the working area of the PGL. The transfer area is intended to allow for at least the driver to enter or leave the vehicle. The transfer area has means to ensure the public does not have access to the working area of the PGL. Note: No persons ever ride the transfer device. 3. PGL-Automatic – A parking system which includes a PGL-Transfer Area, and a vehicle storage area consisting of a PGL-Simple Stacker or PGL-Complex Stacker as defined above. Note: No persons ever ride in an automatic PGL. Note 1: At this time, only the requirements of the transfer area of a PGL-Automatic will be addressed. Note 2: A PGL with two or more loading and unloading landings is considered a PGL elevating device under section 1.3 below. In this bulletin, PGL-Simple Stacker, PGL-Complex Stacker, PGL-Transfer Area and PGL-Automatic are referred to as “Parking Garage Lifts” (PGL’S). 1.3. Not the Subject of this Bulletin 1. Freight Elevators designed to carry motor vehicles; 2. Freight Platform Lifts designed to carry motor vehicles; 3. Material Lifts designed to carry motor vehicles. 4. Elevating devices used to lift a vehicle for the purpose of performing service on the automobile. (O.Reg.209/01 s2.(3)(g)) 5. Simple or Complex PGL’s which are inaccessible to the general public and are provided with Transfer Area(s) as the sole means of loading and unloading . Transfer Area’s however are subject to the Regulation. Where elevating devices described in 1, 2, and 3 above are used to carry vehicles, the requirements of B44 Safety Code for Elevators will form the bases of the design of the elevating device. These devices will be classified as PGL Elevators. 2. INTERPRETATION & ENFORCEMENT Ontario Regulation 209/01 as amended by O.Reg. 252/08 specifically recognizes Parking Garage Lifts, and becomes effective on January 1, 2009. Prior to January 1, 2009, Parking Garage Lifts were classified as a “special elevating device”, requiring compliance with prior editions of the Act, regulation and applicable codes. To facilitate industry compliance, the enforcement process has been divided into two phases. Phase 1 The first phase will ensure compliance for new and altered installations, which are commissioned on or after January 1, 2009.
