Oh da bums. Have you noticed they never listen to us?
Only 9 days now to my show at Feinsteins 54 Below on the 25th. I can hardly wait.

Hi Monana - We too only have two passenger elevators as our freight
elevator got nixed in the original construction in the early 90s. We
are just finishing up a renovation and I tried like crazy to get
them to add a freight elevator in, but to no avail. They wanted
$250,000 for the added elevator.
The best I have been able to do is get the run key from our elevator
mechanic. This allows us to lock out the unit for transport (will
not open on intermediate floors). However, that does not keep folks
from riding with LN2 tanks!

Oh
Christina, that is going to do it. Many, many thanks. And
thanks to the NFPA 45 committee who put a wee bit of common
sense into the standard. I found a lot of university policies
that stated only the freight ekevator should be used for
transport. This job I'm on
is a renovation, so we are stuck with only two passenger
elevators.

The 2019 edition
reference is A.8.3.3.1 and this edition has an
additional sentence tacked to the end of the
statement. "Transport of flammable, corrosive,
toxic or highly toxic gases, cryogenic cylinders
or dewars, or dry ice and similar oxygen depleting
compounds should always be done with no one in the
elevator."
The
"non-requirement" is found in Annex A of NFPA
45, A.8.2.3.1. I suspect that the
"suggestion-to-requirement" will be up to the
Authority Having Jurisdiction.
