## Narrative

Limit switches were not functioning properly on the elevator. Although this impaired the elevator, the elevator could still be used to transport workers in the case of an emergency. The on-site supervisor contacted MSHA as a pre-cautionary measure. In hindsight MSHA should not have been contacted, since the elevator was operable.
