Summary Nr: 111198.015 | Event: 11/23/2018 | Elevator Mechanic Is Caught Between Elevator Car And Lobby A | ||||
At 7:00 p.m. on November 23, 2018, Employee #1 was troubleshooting an elevator. In the elevator room on the roof of the building, he bypassed the door safety system with a jumper wire and did not "gain control of the elevator" by putting the elevator in the inspection mode. Employee #1, went back down to the first floor lobby of the building to the elevator location and was inside the elevator with the door opened when the elevator suddenly dropped. Employee #1 tried to climb out of the reduced opening to the lobby and while climbing through the opening to the lobby floor, the elevator car dropped a second time crushing the employee's torso between the top of the elevator car and the lobby floor. | ||||||
