Up until recently, Ontario has not enforced the CSA B44 requirement for monthly testing of elevator firefighter’s operation – including recall of the elevators to the ground floor. However, the exemption for this testing disappeared as of January so this is now required in Ontario. We have not seen much enforcement on this by the safety regulator (TSSA) but recently that has changed.
Going forward, you may wish to engage your elevator maintenance supplier to do this (expensive) or a consultant such as our firm (less expensive) or train your own building staff (least expensive).
Let us know if we can help with any of these options.
