If an AHJ does not agree with the manner in which a risk assessment is done, can the AHJ request additional testing by the AECO?
As the end product’s safety is the purview of the AHJ, the AHJ makes the final decision whether the elevator is safe or not. If there is a disagreement over something in the risk assessment, there will be discussions, the proper documentation will be invoked, and the issue will be examined. A problem with the risk assessment or anything else should be corrected. One would not want anything in the field that is not correct. In general, in going through the process it is unlikely that there would be something wrong with the risk assessment, as it has gone through a lot of expertise to get to that point.
