Our model: a modern, Outcome-Based Regulator
We take a comprehensive, risk-based approach to safety oversight. To do so, we
Collect and analyze data to identify risk factors that contribute to and cause incidents
Identify higher-risk regulated entities that we can help become safer, using tools like increased education, inspections, audits and pre-requisites in authorization renewals
We inspect devices evaluated as "high-risk" more often
Identify compliant, lower-risk regulated entities with good performance records that only need regular authorizations and periodic inspections
Investigate and prosecute people and entities that are operating illegally in the province
Track changes in compliance and performance to help us decide where to focus our attention
Educate consumers to help them avoid safety hazards and use technical equipment safely
