ASME A17.4 ERTA Document Information:
Title
Guide for Emergency Personnel (Includes Evacuation Procedures and Firefighters´ Service Operating Procedures)
ASME International
Publication Date:
Sep 1, 2002
Scope:
It is recommended that any evacuation of passengers from elevator cars
be performed under the
direct supervision of elevator personnel, as their experience and
expertise assure the
resourcefulness necessary to cope with the various complex hazards
that may arise. However, in the
event of an emergency, time may be of the essence in evacuating
passengers, and waiting for
elevator personnel may be impractical. Under emergency conditions, the
passenger evacuation must be
performed by personnel who are carefully selected and trained as
described in this Guide.
Elevator personnel should also follow these procedures. However, due
to their knowledge of elevator
systems they may utilize other procedures to safely evacuate
passengers (e.g., move the car to a
landing to allow egress through the elevator door).
CAUTION
Newer elevators may not be equipped with an in-car emergency stop
switch, so utilizing the mainline
disconnect is extremely important.
