Residential Elevator Awareness

[@wizbangFLL]

A firefighter isn't going to be looking through smoke and feeling through their equipment that their is no lock on the door knob? Also, needed to explain environment pre-install, mid-install, and post install. The near miss report indicated the rescue worker fell down shaft, but the presenter seemed too focused on the normal operation rather than the abnormal occurrences. Surprised that there is no code compliance indicating the existence of an elevator shaft (pre or post installation) indication on the outside of the shaft access points, nor any indication of location of where the control, and drive units would be located on the shaft entryway (both are both code misses in my estimation). Also, the hydraulic box doesn't have any labeling surrounding the flammability or toxciisity of the fluid. Again, both misses from a risk management POV. The assumption is that a individual familiar with these structures would respond to a emergency event. We know that this is often not the case, especially in more than individual instances.
