General-duty citation text
Section 5(a)(1) of the Occupational Safety & Health Act of 1970: The employer did not furnish employment and a place of employment which were free from recognized hazards that were causing or likely to cause death or serious physical harm to employees, in that, employees were exposed to the hazards of falling down the hoistway shaft when the elevator car was not in the landing zone, being struck by the elevator car when the car was entering or leaving the landing zone or having part of their body caught between the moving elevator and the hoistway. A feasible and useful method to correct this hazard, among other methods is to provide elevator hoistway or landing doors or gates that are electrically interlocked to prevent the elevator car from moving when the landing doors or gates are in the open position and so latched that the landing doors or gates cannot be opened from the landing side unless the elevator car is within the landing zone: Building 117: The shaftway gates on the two elevator (no manufacturer's ID) were not electrically/mechanically interlocked to prevent the elevator car from moving while the doors were in the open position or prevent the shaftway gates from being opened while the elevator car was located at another floor. Also the two open ends of the elevators were not equipped with electrically interlocked car
