Investigation Summary
At 9:20 a.m. onJanuary 9, 2020, an employee was adjusting the final limit switches on the guide rails working inside an elevator pit. Operational control of the elevator was isolated to a Wurtec Pendant Station under the control of a coworker. When the coworker lowered the elevator cart, the upper portion of the employee's right leg was perpendicular to the floor on the underside of the elevator cart. When the elevator was lowered in the employee's direction, a protruding compensation channel struck the employee in the hip. The employee was hospitalized to treat a fractured right hip.
