Section 26 General Safety Dumbwaiters – General Safety Rules SB PG. 159 Now we’re going to talk about working safely with dumbwaiters. NEVER ride or stand on a dumbwaiter, unless: (????????) The rated load exceeds your weight, plus the weight of your tools The cab is structurally capable of holding your weight, plus the weight of your tools The conditions noted above must be met before you can access the car top, even if the car is secured as follows…

Section 26 General Safety Dumbwaiters – General Safety Rules SB PG. 159 Before riding or standing on top of a dumbwaiter, you must ensure the following safety precautions are in place: Ensure the dumbwaiter is equipped with a functioning top-of-car operating station Ensure the top-of-car emergency stop switch is operating properly Verify the dumbwaiter is equipped with safeties Always ride on top of the dumbwaiter, NEVER inside the car. Observe your overhead clearance

Section 26 General Safety Dumbwaiters – General Safety Rules SB PG. 159-160 If work must be performed on top of the car and ANY ONE of the four safety precautions listed in the previous slide aren’t present, other methods of securing the car shall be employed. Initiate the Lock-Out / Tag-Out procedure per the instructions found in Section 15 of the safety manual. (Pause to review Lock-Out / Tag-Out as it applies in this scenario with all participants before continuing the presentation) Secure the car from the overhead, or block the car from below in such a manner that the car will hold your weight, plus the weight of your tools.

Section 26 General Safety Dumbwaiters – General Safety Rules SB PG. 160 When working from the car top, be extremely careful that your body is within the confines of the car and clear of all hoistway protrusions while running Make sure all operating devices are inactive (push buttons, automatic leveling, homing circuits, etc.), except those under your immediate control. Check the turnbuckles on car and counterweight ropes to be sure they are double nutted and pinned. Wire rope has a tendency to twist when operating over sheaves and will spin nuts off turnbuckles, if they aren’t secured.
