8-1.57 Emergency release.
(a) The emergency release shall be in the car, plainly visible to the occupants of the car and reasonably, but not easily accessible to the operator.
(b) To operate the car under emergency conditions it shall be necessary for the operator to hold the emergency release in the emergency position. The emergency release shall be so constructed and installed that it cannot be readily tampered with or “plugged” in the emergency position or intentionally rendered inoperative.
(c) Rods, connections and wiring used in the operation of the emergency release, that are accessible from the car, shall be enclosed to prevent being tampered with readily.
Note:
These specifications cover the principal features with which interlocks, electric contacts and emergency releases shall comply before they will receive the approval of the Industrial Commissioner. The technical fulfillment of these requirements does not assure the approval of a device if examination and test disclose a lack of practicability, durability or reliability.
