Elevators have become an indispensable vertical transportation tool in people's daily lives, bringing great convenience to their daily lives and work. Whether in the office areas of skyscrapers or in residential buildings of residential communities, elevators play a crucial role. They allow people to easily and quickly reach the desired floor, avoiding the hardship and time consumption of climbing stairs.
However, although the design and manufacturing of elevators have fully considered safety and reliability, incidents of people being trapped in elevators still occur from time to time due to various reasons. These reasons may include elevator malfunctions, power outages, and control system failures. When an elevator malfunctions, passengers often feel panic and helplessness, especially for the elderly, frail, or those with special diseases, being trapped in an elevator may have a greater impact on their physical and mental health.
To ensure passenger safety, relevant departments and enterprises have been continuously working to improve elevator safety performance and emergency response capabilities. For example, regular maintenance of elevators, strengthening elevator fault monitoring and warning systems, and improving emergency rescue efficiency. At the same time, it is also necessary to strengthen public education and publicity on elevator safety knowledge, and improve passengers' safety awareness and self-protection capabilities when riding elevators. Only in this way can we more effectively reduce the occurrence of people being trapped in elevators and ensure people's travel safety.
Elevator shutdown measures:
- Immediately contact the management personnel using the elevator's alarm bell, intercom, or telephone and wait for rescue.
- If the alarm is ineffective, you can intermittently call for help or tap on the elevator door to maintain physical strength.
- It is best to lean against the elevator wall and adjust your breathing from time to time.
Avoid the following behaviors:
1. Take drastic actions, such as jumping around.
2. Forcibly pry open the door and climb out of the elevator to prevent the elevator from suddenly starting.
3. Lying down can easily lead to breathing difficulties.
Elevator rapid descent measures:
- Quickly press all the floor buttons. When the emergency power is activated, the elevator will immediately stop its descent.
- Keep your head and back close to the inside of the elevator in a straight line, using the elevator wall as protection for your spine.
- If there is a handrail in the elevator, it is best to hold the handrail tightly to prevent falls due to instability.
- If there is no handrail in the elevator, use your hands to hold your neck to avoid neck injuries.
- Keep your knees bent to absorb the impact.
- Keep your toes on the ground and your heels raised to reduce the impact.
If you still can't remember the above, remember the emergency instructions. Parents can also use this to educate their children!
