Not long ago, a woman was riding a down escalator at a subway station when her large suitcase suddenly lost control and rolled down the escalator, knocking down another passenger on the escalator. The passenger was knocked down and the back of her head hit the elevator, causing blood to flow out of her mouth.

Recently, there is a popular dance video online called "Elevator, Elevator, Wait for Me". But if you really dance on the elevator or go against the traffic on a escalator, it is easy to cause safety accidents. The Ningbo Rail Transit Operation Branch recently launched an action to pay attention to elevator safety, and staff reminded passengers to strictly abide by the regulations for taking elevators in public places.

It is understood that when taking the escalator, these actions are classified as dangerous and must not be taken. 1. Running and playing on the escalator steps; 2. Lie on the handrail; 3. Lean against the side wall panel; 4. Stand at the entrance and exit of the escalator.

When taking an accessible elevator, there are also high-risk actions that need to be avoided: dancing in an accessible elevator, obstructing the door from closing, which may cause the door to trap people; Jumping and playing in the elevator car can easily cause malfunctions in the door lock, overload device, safety gear, and leveling device, and can also reduce the efficiency of elevator use.

In addition, these common actions in our daily lives can also affect the normal operation of elevators. Everyone needs to avoid: 1. Repeatedly pressing the door open and close buttons. Some impatient people like to repeatedly press the door opening and closing buttons, but in fact, this does not accelerate the speed of opening and closing doors, but rather affects the sensitivity of elevator operation; 2. Forcefully squeeze in when overloaded. The elevator has a rated load capacity, and if it exceeds the load range, it will automatically sound an alarm. If it is overloaded for a long time, it will cause the elevator's operating program to be disrupted and malfunction.

It is reported that in order to ensure the safe and normal use of elevators, Ningbo Metro regularly cleans, lubricates, adjusts, and inspects all elevator equipment on a semi monthly, quarterly, semi annual, and yearly basis to ensure the normal operation of each elevator equipment. The homework time is from 23:00 to 4:00 the next day (except for special circumstances).

In addition, special passengers should pay attention to that there are barrier free elevators in the stations of the whole Ningbo Metro line (except for some stations with properties above Haiyan North Road Station, Kongpu Station and Chenghuang Temple Station) to meet the barrier free access requirements. The elevator is equipped with low position buttons and Braille buttons, as well as directional indicators, for special needs such as the blind, elderly, and children to use.

Some special passengers who travel alone and have limited mobility can call the Ningbo Metro service hotline at 83070000 to make a "love appointment". As long as you inform the subway staff of your travel time and itinerary, the station staff will wait for passengers at the station entrance and platform in advance to help special passengers get on and off the subway.

These elevator safety reminders should be taken with confidence

（1） Electric escalator

1. Before boarding, tie your shoelaces tightly and be careful of loose and dragging clothing to prevent being dragged.

When boarding, please hold onto the handrail, pay attention to the center of gravity, and stand within the yellow line of the stairs.

3. When leaving, lift your feet in advance.

4. Escalators are special equipment, and minors need to be accompanied by adults when riding on them. It is recommended that the elderly carry strollers, large luggage, and passengers with limited mobility to take accessible elevators.

（2） Accessible elevator

1. Children should not play at the entrance of elevators on each floor, as opening and closing doors can easily injure children.

2. After the elevator is fully loaded, do not forcefully squeeze in to cause overload.
