Safety Information 

 
 

Know the safety hazards related to any procedure you are about to perform.  
Know what equipment has been specified for each specific contact and know 
what tools and materials you should plan to have available.  Before connecting 
electrical wiring, take precautions to prevent accidents from happening to 
yourself and others around you. 
 

ALWAYS CONSIDER SAFTY FIRST! 

 

Wear a hard hat when working in the hoist way.

 

 

Wear safety glasses or goggles when using power tools

 

 

Always wear protective gloves when installing or removing access covers, 

conduits, wireway or electrical devices.

 

 

When working on car canopy, always be aware of where the sides of the car are 

located.

 

 

Use properly grounded cords and power equipment (ground fault circuit 

interrupters). 

 

Make sure there are proper clearances in hoist way between the car and other 

devices.  Before connecting wiring, cover sharp edges to keep hands and arms 
from being cut. 

 

Always know where other people are and how the elevator wiring can affect 

their safety. 

 

Safety lock and tag out procedures are always required before performing and 

kind of service, repair, adjustment, lubrication or inspection of power equipment. 

 

To reduce the danger of electrical shock, always make sure electrical 

connections are secure.  Also make sure no bare wires are exposed after pulling 
cable. 

 

Use a circuit tester to be certain the circuit is not active before touching it.
