Question 1

Which of the following is the correct procedure for executing a group lockout/tagout (LOTO) on a commercial accessibility lift?

Each mechanic working on the lift must apply their own personal lock and tag to the group lockout box or energy-isolating device. Only the lead mechanic needs to apply a lock, and other team members write their names on a tag. The supervisor applies one lock representing the entire crew, and the key is left in the control cabinet. Locks are optional if the main disconnect switch is within line of sight of the work area.

Correct Answer:

Each mechanic working on the lift must apply their own personal lock and tag to the group lockout box or energy-isolating device.

Question 2

Before entering the pit of an enclosed vertical platform lift for maintenance, what is the first safety action you should take?

Test the pit run/stop safety switch by placing it in the 'STOP' position and verifying that the lift will not run. Visually inspect the bottom of the cylinder for oil leaks. Wipe down the guide rails with lint-free rags. Turn on the pit light to inspect the bottom limit switch.

Correct Answer:

Test the pit run/stop safety switch by placing it in the 'STOP' position and verifying that the lift will not run.

Correct Answer:

4:1 ratio (for every 4 feet of height, the base should be 1 foot out)

Question 5

Why is an elevator hoistway or deep lift pit considered a 'restricted space' (or under certain conditions a 'confined space')?

It has limited options for entry and exit and is not designed for continuous human occupancy. It contains dangerous high-voltage electrical lines (>600V) in all instances. It lacks artificial light fixtures and mechanical ventilation systems entirely. It is restricted only to certified elevator inspectors and building owners.
