If this is in the US, I feel like it would be a violation of OSHA. Or maybe it's something so stupid that OSHA never thought to make it a rule.
Has to be a country where 3 phase AC is uncommon. So US.
That switch probably controls a contactor. I din't think that switch could take all the current for the elevator
Or something like it controls the lights in the elevator cab (but not the elevator itself).
Or building codes, something.
We've got an elevator at work that is... less than reliable. To reset the elevator is a giant breaker BUT sometimes it's not the mechanics in the elevator but the control board. To reset that board is just a GFI. Also the lights in the elevator are a different light switch in the same closet.
