The Technical Safety Authority of Saskatchewan (TSASK) inspects and regulates Amusement Rides & Devices in Saskatchewan ensuring they are in accordance with the Amusement Ride Safety Regulations set out by the Government of Saskatchewan.
Amusement Ride Safety establishes and enforces technical safety standards through design registration, inspection and licensing of each amusement ride or device. TSASK reviews and registers new ride designs, issues licenses for each ride & device for the current operating season, and performs acceptance/routine inspections and incident investigations.
New amusement rides & devices are inspected upon being registered in the province, and at the start of every new season, or following an alteration. If a safety deficiency is discovered, TSASK’s inspectors will evaluate the amount of risk and issue compliance orders to the owners/operators. If an incident occurs, TSASK will investigate and remove any unsafe ride or device from operation.
TSASK inspectors are certified by the National Association of Amusement Ride Safety Officials (NAARSO) and the Amusement Industry Manufacturers & Suppliers (AIMS International).

- Amusement Rides & Devices
The Amusement Ride Safety Act and Regulations apply to rides normally found at travelling exhibitions, fairs, and other venues (i.e. merry-go-rounds, haunted houses, roller coasters) and inflatable rides used at public events (i.e. bouncy castles).
- Amusement Rides & Devices
Certain inflatables: The Amusement Ride Safety Act and Regulations do not cover rides or devices on private property. Inflatables must meet the manufacturer’s standards established by the safety act. The individual assumes a risk when providing their guests the use of an inflatable device the same as the rider assumes a risk when using an inflatable. The regulations also exempt inflatable devices used for advertisement purposes as the safety act states an amusement ride exists for the purposes of amusement.
Trampolines: The regulations exempt trampolines because trampolines do not have a mechanical component.
Waterslides: The Ministry of Health regulates waterslides.
Zip lines / Aerial adventure courses: Zip lines / aerial adventure courses operate without a mechanical component and are exempt because gravity moves the rider. Ride owners take the responsibility for ride assembly, based on manufacturer standards. The rider assumes the risk of using the ride and has little control over the ride insofar as gravity manipulates the movement of the rider. In addition, there is no mechanical equipment to inspect.
Coin operated or mall rides: Shopping mall rides, or coin operated rides are exempt because rides erected in malls have mall liability insurance. Mall rides do not require operator intervention because mall rides operate by coin. Mall rides run on a times circuit whereby the ride shuts off after a set period.
Mechanical bulls: The Amusement Ride Safety Regulations ensure a rider safely uses a ride, whereas the purpose of a mechanical bull may cause injury. The rider understands the risk and knows the device restricts the rider from staying on.
