    If this is in the US, I feel like it would be a violation of OSHA. Or maybe it’s something so stupid that OSHA never thought to make it a rule.

      Oh I’m positive its an OSHA violation,but it got fixed after a while. A stopgap till the right switch/part arrived. In recent times,at least. In the past however,this would stay till safety came through and made them do it right. And this is a billion dollar company too. Blows my mind.

        That switch probably controls a contactor. I din’t think that switch could take all the current for the elevator

          Or something like it controls the lights in the elevator cab (but not the elevator itself).

      We’ve got an elevator at work that is… less than reliable. To reset the elevator is a giant breaker BUT sometimes it’s not the mechanics in the elevator but the control board. To reset that board is just a GFI. Also the lights in the elevator are a different light switch in the same closet.
