15、0/CSA B44-10) . 29ivFOREWORDSince 1921, The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) has developedand published safety codes and standards for elevators, escalators, and relatedequipment.In the 1960s, a demand from many building owners, lessees, and operatingmanagements emphasized a need for

16、a guide for the evacuation of passengersfrom stalled elevator cars. To meet this need relating to safety, the A17 ExecutiveCommittee initiated a project of study that resulted in the development of the A17Guide for the Evacuation of Passengers From Stalled Elevator Cars. This firstedition was endors

17、ed by the A17 Standards Committee in December 1972 andwas published in 1973.Since the publication of the first edition of the Guide, changes to the A17.1Safety Code for Elevators and Escalators prompted the ASME A17 Committee torevise the Guide and keep it updated with new editions. The procedures c

18、ontainedin this Guide are based on past or current A17.1 editions and do not take intoaccount any local jurisdictional revisions that may have been made.The following is a list of approval dates and dates of issuance of all of theeditions of the Guide:Edition Approved IssuedA17 Guide December 1972 1

21、LCK. S. Lloyd, Jr., Alternate, Abell Elevator InternationalL. Bialy, Otis Elevator Co.B. D. Black, BDBlack for those with side-opening doors, the toolshould be used on the side the door closes into. This results in quicker releaseof the passengers and minimizes the overall damage so the elevator can

22、 bereturned to service more quickly see Fig. 1.3.4(f).(3) Some older elevators have a “broken arm” interlock and nothing at thetop closing part of the door. It may be possible to check this at the lowest landingor on adjacent cars. In this situation, the forcible entry tool should be used at theappr

23、oximate level where the broken arm attaches to the door, about center from91.3.41.3.5 ASME A17.42015Fig. 1.3.4(e) Guarding of Hoistway Opening Below the Carthe top to bottom where center-opening doors meet or where side-opening doorsclose. The arms usually do not conveniently “break” but continue be

24、nding as thedoor is forced open.(4) A member of the rescue team should enter the elevator car and set theemergency stop switch, if the car is so equipped, in the “STOP” or “OFF” position.If the car is equipped with a key-operated, in-car stop switch, use the key, ifavailable, to turn the switch to t

25、he “OFF” position. Where the in-car stop switchis located behind a locked panel, unlock the panel and activate the stop switch.(5) The passengers should then be assisted from the stalled elevator car, oneat a time, by rescue personnel located both in the car and on the landing. Asturdy stepladder or

26、 footstool should be used for safe removal. Precautions shouldbe taken to guard any hoistway opening below the car floor (platform) when theelevator car is above the landing see Fig. 1.3.4(e). Again, a ladder, backboard,basket stretcher, or solid piece of furniture can be used for this purpose.1.3.5

27、 Procedure With Car More Than 3 ft (914 mm) From LandingWhen an elevator car is stalled so that the car floor (platform) is more than 3 ft(914 mm) above a landing level, it is inadvisable to remove the passengersthrough the elevator door opening, as the excessive distance between the car floor10ASME

28、 A17.42015 1.3.5Fig. 1.3.4(f) Proper Use of Forcible Entry Tool(platform) and landing level creates a danger due to the possibility that a passengermay fall into the hoistway. In addition, it is inadvisable to remove passengersthrough the elevator door opening when the car floor (platform) is more t

29、hanabout 3 ft (914 mm) below the landing level, since the reduced opening clearancemakes exiting too difficult.The recommended methods for removing the passengers under these conditionsare as follows:(a) Removal Through Top Emergency ExitCAUTION:Do not use the car top emergency exit on an elevator i

30、n an unenclosed hoistway.New elevators in unenclosed hoistways will not have top emergency exits. If exitingthrough the elevator entrance is not possible, have experienced elevator personnelmove the elevator car to a landing level. The tops of elevator cars may have alot of equipment, and secure foo

31、ting may not be obvious. Additionally, debris cancollect, along with dirt, oil, etc.111.3.5 ASME A17.42015(1) The mainline disconnect switches in the machine room for the stalledelevator and the adjacent elevators (if the stalled elevator car is located in amultiple hoistway) should be set in the “O

32、FF” position. Lockout/tagout the mainlinedisconnect switch.(2) The rescue team should open the hoistway door at the nearest landing oran emergency access door, where provided, above the stalled elevator car top.This entry can be made by the use of the hoistway door-unlocking device or theemergency d

33、oor key, or by forcing open the hoistway doors.(3) A ladder with nonskid feet should be lowered to the elevator car top andsecurely positioned on the elevator car top. This ladder should be of sufficientlength to extend at least 3 ft (914 mm) above the landing floor see Fig. 1.3.5(a).(4) One member

34、of the rescue team, equipped with a personal fall arrestsystem and properly tied off to a secured lifeline, should descend to the top ofthe stalled elevator car. The top of car stop switch should be placed in the “STOP”position to ensure that the elevator will not move. A second ladder should belowe

35、red through the top emergency exit and positioned between the elevator carfloor and car top in order to safely transport the passengers to the car top.(5) A second rescue team member, also equipped with a personal fall arrestsystem and properly tied off to a secured lifeline, should then descend to

36、the cartop. The team member should carry an additional personal fall arrest system foruse in rescuing the passengers.(6) One team member should then enter the stalled elevator car through thetop emergency exit. The other rescue team member should remain on the top ofthe stalled elevator car. A third

37、 member should be at the landing used to gainaccess to the hoistway.(7) The emergency stop switch in the stalled elevator car, if the car is soequipped, should be set in the “STOP” or “OFF” position. If the car is equippedwith a key-operated, in-car stop switch, use the key, if available, to turn th

38、e switchto the “OFF” position. Where the in-car stop switch is located behind a lockedpanel, unlock the panel and place the stop switch in the “OFF” position.(8) The passengers should then be assisted, one at a time, from within theelevator car to the car top, then to the landing above with the use

39、of personalfall arrest systems and secured lifelines.(b) Removal Using Side Emergency Exit, When an Adjacent Elevator With aMatching Side Emergency Exit Is Available.CAUTION:Due to the difficulty in lining up the adjacent openings, the following procedureshould be used only if top emergency exits ar

40、e not installed, there are experiencedelevator personnel present, or the rescue team has been thoroughly trained inthis procedure.(1) Move the rescue car using the independent service, firefighters service,or inspection mode to line up the floor of the rescue car with that of the stalled car.12ASME

41、A17.42015 1.3.5Fig. 1.3.5(a) Use of Top Emergency Exit131.3.5SECTION 1.4 ASME A17.42015(2) The mainline disconnect switches in the machine room for the stalledelevator and the rescue elevator should be set in the “OFF” position using properlockout/tagout procedures.(3) A member of the rescue team we

42、aring a personal fall arrest system andproperly tied off to a secured lifeline should enter the stalled elevator car throughthe side emergency exit.(4) The emergency stop switch in the stalled elevator car and the rescueelevator car, if the cars are so equipped, should be set in the “STOP” or “OFF”p

43、osition. If the cars are equipped with a key-operated, in-car stop switch, use thekey, if available, to turn the switch to the “OFF” position. Where the in-car stopswitch is located behind a locked panel, unlock the panel and place the stop switchin the “OFF” position.(5) If available, an evacuation

44、 bridge equipped with guard ropes or rails witha height of 42 in. (1 070 mm) should be placed securely between the side emergencyexits of the stalled elevator car and rescue elevator car. If an evacuation bridgeis not available, other suitable means must be provided. The distance spannedshould not e

45、xceed 30 in. (762 mm) see Fig. 1.3.5(b).(6) Personal fall arrest systems and secured lifelines must be used to protectthe passengers, whether or not an evacuation bridge is used.(7) The rescue team members should assist the passengers, one at a time,in the transfer to the rescue elevator car. Passen

46、gers should be wearing a personalfall arrest system and be tied off to a lifeline until they are well inside the rescue car.1.3.6 Restoration of Elevator ServiceDo not attempt to restore power to the stalled elevator. After the rescue hasbeen completed, have a rescue team member stand by to inform t

47、he elevatorpersonnel which switches were pulled and which doors were forced open. Themainline disconnect switch should remain locked and tagged out until such timethat elevator personnel arrive to return the elevator to normal service. If theemergency personnel must leave with their lockout/tagout d

48、evice(s), the buildingmust supply and install an appropriate lockout/tagout device.SECTION 1.4RESCUE FOLLOWING AN EARTHQUAKE OR OTHERCATASTROPHEThere should be no attempt to move the elevator by the emergency personnelunless it is done under the direct supervision of experienced elevator personnel.A rescue team selected and trained to perform evacuations should use the rescueprocedures found in Section 1.3 to evacuate passengers.14ASME A17.42015 SECTION 1.4Fig. 1.3.5(b) Evacuation Bridge in Between Side Emergency Exits15
