Abstract: An elevator safety net system for preventing people, equipment, or debris from falling down commercial or residential elevator shafts during building construction, in each case avoiding injury. The net is a high-quality synthetic double-layer net with reinforced borders encased in fabric-sealed edges, and a plurality of steel grommets around the edges of the safety net. A plurality of safety nets may be suspended laterally up and down an elevator shaft before the elevator is installed, and this is done by screwing in eight eye bolts around the elevator shaft so that the safety net can be attached/suspended by snapping in closed steel hooks that connect the eye bolts to corresponding steel grommets of the net, thereby suspending the nets up and down the elevator shaft. The nets can be removed and reinstalled for future maintenance of the elevator shaft by snapping the hooks on and off the eye bolts screwed into the elevator shaft.
