    Are elevators in commercial/industrial facilities subject to inspections and some kind of permitting in Quebec (Montreal)?

    Yes. The requirements are contained not in the OHS but Building Act Regulations, specifically the Construction Code. See, https://www.canlii.org/en/qc/laws/regu/cqlr-c-b-1.1-r-2/latest/cqlr-c-b-1.1-r-2.html#CHAPTER_IV_ELEVATORS_AND_OTHER_ELEVATING_DEVICES_374115

    Scroll down to Chapter IV. Note that rather than specify the standards, the Regs. incorporate a number of CSA Standards by reference. You’ll need access to those standards to determine the exact inspection requirements.

    4.01. In this Chapter, unless the context indicates otherwise, “Code” means the “Code de sécurité sur les ascenseurs et monte-charge, CAN/CSA B44-00”, including the updates of June, November and December 2003, the “CSA Standard CAN/CSA B44-00: Safety Code for Elevators” including the updates of September 2002, May and December 2003, and “standard” means the standard “Appareils élévateurs pour personnes handicapées, CAN/CSA B355-00” including the amendments of “B355S1-02 Supplément no 1 à CAN/CSA B355-00 Appareils élévateurs pour personnes handicapées” and the updates of March 2002 and October 2003, “CSA Standard CAN/CSA B355-00: Lifts for Persons with Physical Disabilities”, including the amendments of “B355S1-02 Supplement No. 1 to CAN/CSA-B355-00, Lifts for Persons with Physical Disabilities” and the updates of March 2002 and October 2003 or the standard “Appareils élévateurs d’habitation pour personnes handicapées, CAN/CSA B613-00”, including the update of January 2002, “CSA Standard CAN/CSA B613-00: Private Residence Lifts for Persons with Physical Disabilities”, including the update of January 2002, published by the Canadian Standards Association, as well as such subsequent amendments as may be published by that organization
