There is provided an elevator safety system (40) comprising: a plurality of landing door sensors (26), each landing door sensor (26) being configured to provide a warning signal (52) when a respective landing door (22) is open; at least one position sensor (14) configured to determine a current position (54) of an elevator car (10) moving within a hoistway (2); an elevator brake (7) configured to halt the motion of the elevator car (10); and a controller (8) configured to send an emergency stop signal (58) to the elevator brake (7). The controller (8) is configured to determine whether to send the emergency stop signal (58) based on: a direction of travel of the elevator car (10) with respect to the open landing door (22); a current speed of the elevator car (10); and a distance (D) between the open landing door (22) and the current position of the elevator car (10).
