What should I pay attention to when taking the elevator
- Check if the elevator door switch is stable and if there is any abnormal sound.
- Whether the start, operation, and stop of the elevator are normal.
- Whether the buttons of the elevator operate normally.
- Are the electrical lights and floor displays inside the elevator, as well as the floor displays outside the elevator, functioning properly.
- Is the emergency device working properly, such as walkie talkies, emergency buttons, exhaust fans, and monitors.
- When the elevator stops, is it level with the ground on each floor.
Correct usage of elevators
- When the elevator door is opened, be careful when entering and exiting. After the elevator door is opened, it is important to ensure that the car arrives and is accurately aligned before entering and exiting the elevator. When the elevator is closing, passengers outside should not use their hands, feet, etc. to prevent the door from closing. People inside the elevator should not reach out, poke their heads, or place their belongings in gaps to prevent the door from closing.
- Don't press the button too much, don't rely on the elevator door. Repeated pressing of the button can cause the elevator to stop by mistake and the button to malfunction. Leaning, pushing, hitting, and prying the door can affect the opening of the landing door, while accidentally opening the landing door may lead to unintentional falling into the wellbore.
- Do not use your hands to lift the elevator door. During the operation of the elevator, passengers should not use their hands to lift the elevator door. Once the door gap is opened, the elevator will brake urgently and passengers will be trapped. During the elevator stop process, coins, fruit peels, and other objects may sometimes fall into the gaps between the elevator door and the shaft. Once discovered, it is necessary to immediately inform the elevator professional for assistance in handling.
These situations prohibit taking the elevator
- The elevator makes a strange noise, which indicates that there may be safety issues with the elevator.
- If the floor of the elevator car is uneven with the floor, it indicates that the elevator is malfunctioning.
- The elevator room is usually located at the highest point on the roof, which can easily attract lightning. Therefore, it is best not to take the elevator during thunderstorms. Even if taking the elevator, do not bring flowing umbrellas or rain boots into the car to avoid electrical equipment short circuit faults.
