Investigation Summary
At 1:26 p.m. on or about August, 11, 1997, Employee #1 was servicing an elevator. He was above the pit area, just inside the doors of the elevator on the first floor of an eight-story building. He had parked the elevator on the second floor and then gone to the first floor, reportedly to work on a defective slow down switch. While working or leaving the area, he apparently moved the switch and it appears to have sent a signal to the elevator that it was on or approaching the first floor. The elevator, which was still on the second floor, closed its inside door and descended to the first floor, trapping Employee #1 between the wall and the pit ladder on the first floor. He was crushed and killed. The elevator was not locked out.
