Things have really changed! Back in the late 1940's I worked Saturdays at the medical laboratory in Oklahoma City. One of my jobs was to autopsy the rabbits use in Friedman tests. The rabbits were then put in large paper sacks and taken down in a public elevator where they were paced in trash bins in the alley (to the delight of the homeless). I "lived in fear" that a bag might break on the downward trip. It happened only once when others were in the elevator.

I must have remembered wrong. There certainly should be a lot of rules in place not to have the public sharing the elevator with large shipments of liquid chemicals such as those planned for transport within a particular public building I'm thinking of. It just seems crazy to me. Monona

It is a best practice not to move gas cylinders, cryogenic cylinders, and
even dry ice on elevators due to the potential for asphyxiation, fire, or
toxic exposure in the event of an extended elevator failure or
cylinder/container release but I don't know of any code that prevents it.

Re: chemicals on passenger elevators new thread
I remember people talking about a standard that addressed the use of
passenger elevators for transport of chemicals to labs. Can someone help
me find that standard and reference?
Thanks muchly
