Safety knowledge and instructions for elevator passengers


Elevators are people's daily vertical transportation, and if you live on the 10th floor, it's hard to imagine a day without an elevator. The design of modern elevators maximizes the consideration of passenger safety, but this does not guarantee that the equipment will not encounter accidents in any situation. As passengers, it is important to ensure safe and civilized use of elevators during normal operation. In the event of elevator malfunctions, it is necessary to raise self-protection awareness to prevent danger from occurring. Safety tips for normal elevator operation:

Waiting for the elevator

◇ Press the up or down call button at the door correctly, and avoid pressing both call buttons at the same time. This will make the elevator useless and waste your and others' time and energy. Waiting for the elevator to arrive, if there are multiple parallel elevator groups, it may not be the elevator in front of you to pick you up. If the arrival light of any elevator flashes and the arrival bell rings, it is an invitation to wait at its entrance.

After the elevator opens the door, passengers should get off first and then get on. If any passengers exit the car, you should stand to the side to facilitate their evacuation and then enter the car.

If the elevator car is fully loaded, wait for the next elevator.

When closing the elevator door, do not extend your hands or other objects between the two door leaves.

In case of fire or other emergency situations, evacuate through the staircase passage. Because in case the elevator power supply is damaged, passengers may be locked in the elevator car.

Entering and exiting the elevator car

◇ Safely and quickly enter and exit the elevator car, and avoid staying at the entrance. Passengers standing at the door should leave the elevator car first.

Press the target floor selection button correctly to ensure that you don't miss your floor.

If the number of passengers in the car is moderate, you can move deeper into the car for the convenience of other passengers.

◇ Passengers with children should take care of their children; Passengers with pets should prevent their pets from moving alone.

Keep a distance from the elevator door and pay special attention to preventing clothing or other personal items from being squeezed by the elevator door when opening and closing the door.

To keep the elevator door open, you should hold down the door button. If you need to move items, you can ask other passengers to help you hold down the door button.

Taking the elevator

Stand close to the car wall and place your hands on the handrail when there is one.

◇ Pay attention to the floor display and prepare to leave the elevator car in advance.

After arriving at the station, if the elevator does not open the door, press the open door button. If the door still does not open, you should use an alarm button or the car intercom system or phone to contact the central control room or property management department, and wait for dedicated personnel to rescue.

Safety Tips

Most elevator injury accidents occur at doorways (when people are squeezed by moving cars) or in empty shafts (when people fall). When an elevator malfunctions, staying away from these two places ensures your safety.

The entrance of the elevator (at the threshold of the hall car door) is a very dangerous place, remember not to stay here.

During the elevator repair process, if the staff forgets to place warning signs and guardrails while operating with the hall door open, you must not probe into the shaft out of curiosity. Residents of the building should remember not to approach the elevator shaft with the door open to prevent falling.

　　If you are locked in the elevator car, the only correct way out is to find a way to request rescue. Never forcefully open the door to escape. A car parked between two floors and an open hall door will put you in a double danger. During your outward climb, if the elevator runs, people will be immediately squeezed by the door frame and car! If you are lucky enough to climb out of the elevator car and try to jump down to the floor, your body is very likely to lose its center of gravity and fall into the empty shaft!

Caring for equipment

Elevators are not only essential vertical transportation for people's daily lives, but also a reflection of modern architectural civilization. When visitors see damaged call buttons, cluttered waiting halls, and scratched car walls, they naturally associate them with the level of civilization of the residents of this building. The normal operation of elevator equipment cannot be separated from the hard work of elevator maintenance personnel, and taking care of elevator equipment is also a respect for the labor of elevator maintenance personnel. Take care of elevator equipment just like taking care of private cars.

The elevator waiting hall is a safe passage for passengers and should be kept clean and unobstructed. Residents should not pile up debris or park bicycles in the waiting hall.

Teach your own children or children of visiting relatives and friends to take good care of elevator equipment, not to use call buttons as toys, and not to carve on call panels and car walls.

Promptly notify the property management company or elevator maintenance company if elevator malfunctions are found.
