Investigation Summary
At 10:40 a.m. on December 5, 2023, Employee #1 was working for an elevator installation and maintenance contractor. Employee #1 was troubleshooting and performing maintenance on a two-story residential ADA elevator. The elevator was on the second floor at the time of the incident, and Employee#1 disengaged the safety interlock on the outer elevator door on the first floor while the elevator was on the second floor. Employee#1 propped the outer door open with a tool bag and entered the elevator pit. The outer door closed, while Employee #1 was in the elevator pit, trapping him in the elevator pit. The elevator activated and came down on Employee #1, causing his death from brain and other traumatic injuries.
