Amusement Rides Program

The Mechanical and Engineering Branch's expertise in welding and electrical construction makes us the natural choice to oversee the material integrity and safe operation of carnival and amusement rides in the province.

Under the Amusements Act (Part II), the Branch works with owners to help ensure safety on the Midway by enforcing design, construction, set-up and operation standards and codes of practice. Before putting their rides into operation each season, owners must ensure that the Mechanical and Engineering Branch makes an on-site inspection and that they comply with any orders issued as a result of the inspection. After the initial set-up inspection, inspectors conduct spot-checks throughout the season to ensure the continuing high standards of preventative maintenance, set-up, and operating procedures.
