Elevator safety arrangement configured to detect a load on a working platform and elevator

An elevator safety arrangement, comprising:

• a hoistway;
• an elevator car mounted in the hoistway;
• a working platform mounted on top of a roof of the elevator car;
• at least one balustrade mounted on the working platform such that a weight of the at least one balustrade is carried by the working platform, the at least one balustrade movable between a substantially upright position and a substantially horizontal position;
• and
• at least one first sensing arrangement including a first sensor horizontally adjacent to a planar upper tread surface of the working platform, the first sensor configured to simultaneously sense a load on the working platform and indirectly sense a load on the at least one balustrade in both the substantially upright position and the substantially horizontal position by sensing a position of the working platform, the position of the working platform varying based on a change in the weight of the at least one balustrade carried by the working platform due to the load on the at least one balustrade when the at least one balustrade is in either the substantially upright position or the substantially horizontal position.
