Elevators Can Be a Dangerous Place
Elevators can be a dangerous place, because an elevator roof panel can fall down on you at any time. Elevators are complex machines, there are definitely a lot of moving parts. These parts include:
- Counterweights
- Roller guides
- Compensation cables
- Governor cable
- Buffers
- Limit switches
- Machines
- Electric hoist motor
- Electrical control panel
The building maintenance department is responsible for maintaining all aspects of the elevator. This will include any housing, cables, roofing panels, vertical panels and machinery in the elevator. For example, in the case of pneumatic elevators, they run with small cabs that have cables that are controlled by a roof-mounted suction system. If anything in that system fails, breaks or becomes defective, it can cause the roof of the elevator to fall down into the cab.
When the elevator parts fall down into the cab, the result may be a traumatic brain injury for anyone who is hit by this type of apparatus. For this reason, all elevators need to be maintained in good and excellent working order, to prevent someone being injured by any part of the elevator malfunctioning, falling down or injuring someone during its normal operation.
