Nowadays, whether working in office buildings or shopping in malls, we often use elevators, so elevator safety is particularly important. So, what should we do in case of an emergency in the elevator?
When taking the elevator at the station, be sure to pay attention to foot safety. During operation, hold onto the handrail and do not walk around casually. It is best to stand on one side of the elevator. If there are children, be sure not to let them play in the elevator. When the elevator is running, do not lean your body on the handrail. Some elevators have handrails and steps that are not completely synchronized, and leaning your body on the handrail can easily cause danger.
You should be familiar with the knowledge about escalators
1、 The emergency stop button can save lives
The emergency stop button is usually located below the running indicator light of the escalator. Once a passenger falls on the escalator upstream, the passenger closest to the "emergency stop button" on the escalator can immediately press the button, and the escalator will slowly stop automatically within 2 seconds. Other passengers should also remain calm and hold onto the handrails tightly. Subsequent passengers should not watch and provide accurate and prompt assistance to passengers in danger.
When riding an escalator, if you encounter an accident or find someone else in an accident, quickly press the emergency stop button, and the elevator will come to a stop to avoid further injury to personnel. Generally speaking, emergency buttons can be embedded, protruding, etc., but they are all highlighted in red
2、 The yellow "warning line" is actually a gear plate that is easily "bitten" when stepped on here
The yellow warning line is actually a comb plate, with a yellow line painted at the front and rear ends of each step. Many people only know that this warning line is to remind everyone to avoid stepping on the wrong steps. In fact, the part painted with yellow paint has a crucial structural component called the comb plate, which is responsible for the engagement of the upper and lower steps.
3、 Escalator safety is not related to weight
Compared to fixed parts, moving parts have a higher risk factor. The moving parts of an escalator mainly include the handrail and steps. Armband injuries do not depend on weight, even adults can be taken down if they hold onto the armband and do not let go.
4、 Children should pay attention to safety when traveling by car
When taking the station elevator, do not let children ride alone; When waiting and resting at the train station, do not keep children out of the line of sight of their parents.
Don't panic when you fall due to crowded escalator rides
When falling in a crowded elevator, tighten your ten finger neck protector and quickly press the red brake button.
In addition, there are several points to remember when taking an escalator!
01 Please follow the elevator regulations within the circle
02 Please take care of the elderly and children
03 Please be cautious when riding stairs if wearing perforated shoes
04 Please tie your shoelaces tightly and keep them at least 1cm above the ground
05 Please keep your feet away from the edge of the steps
06 Prohibit playing and frolicking on the escalator
07 Prohibit the use of strollers and baby strollers
08 Prohibit Barefoot Passengers from Riding Ladders
09 Prohibit taking elevators in the opposite direction
10. It is prohibited to place handbags and other soft bags on the steps
In case of sudden accidents, you can loudly remind others to quickly press the red emergency stop button located near the entrance and exit of the escalator
