Understand the safety knowledge of elevators to protect life and a solid line of defense

Relevant data show that nearly 80% of elevator accidents are caused by improper use, so the maintenance of elevators is a big problem.

So why do elevator accidents happen frequently?

1. User: Don't want to spend more money to maintain the elevator. Whether it is the management of shopping malls, supermarkets, or residential properties, many are unwilling to spend money on elevator maintenance, and some are even unwilling to submit an annual inspection.

2. Industry: The training of professionals cannot keep up with the development speed of elevators.

3. Supervision: Relevant supervision and standards are also lacking. my country's regulations on elevator inspection and maintenance are very rough, most of which are only macroscopic and not operational.

How should I ride the elevator?

1. Be very careful with elevator doors. Leaning, flapping, pushing, hitting, kicking, etc. can affect the opening of the elevator door or fall into the shaft inadvertently because the door opens by mistake.

2. Don't press the button repeatedly. Pressing the button repeatedly will cause the elevator to stop by mistake, which will delay time and possibly cause the button to malfunction.

3. During the elevator parking process, sometimes coins, peels and other things fall into the gap between the elevator door and the hoistway. The elevator professional should be notified immediately to assist in handling.

4. Do not take the elevator under special circumstances. Special circumstances are as follows: abnormal noise occurs in the elevator; in case of fire or thunderstorm, do not take the elevator if there is no emergency.

How can I help myself if there is an accident on a straight ladder?

Situation 1: How to save yourself when trapped in the elevator

1. You can use the phone or walkie-talkie in the elevator to ask for help, or dial 110 for help, or you can press the alarm bell on the dial.

2. If you cannot find an elevator mechanic immediately, you can ask someone outside to call the firefighter.

3. People trapped in the elevator cannot confirm the location of the elevator, so don't force the door.

Situation 2: How to save yourself when the elevator falls

1. Immediately press the button on each floor in the elevator. Because when the emergency power is activated, the elevator will stop and continue to fall.

2. If the elevator has a handle, hold it tightly with one hand, which can help you fix your position and reduce your fall due to unstable gravity.

3. Close to the elevator wall from head to back, and use the elevator wall as a spine protection.
