How to prevent escalator safety accidents

Correct way to take an elevator

1. To take an escalator safely, stand on a step with both feet, hold on tightly, and don't lean on it.

At present, there are still some reasons such as unclear management responsibilities of some elevators, incompatibility between the selection and configuration and the use conditions, blocked channels for the use of special residential maintenance funds, and the gradual increase in old elevators. There are still many elevator entrapment and other faults, and elevator accidents occur from time to time. There is still a big gap between the safety level of elevators and the people's increasing demand for safety and convenience. How to deal with escalator accidents? In case there is no way to press the emergency stop button in the first time, passengers should hold the handrail of the escalator tightly with both hands, and then lift their feet without touching the escalator. In this way, people will move with the guardrail of the escalator and will not fall, but there is a premise that there should not be too many people in the elevator; when encountering crowded injury incidents, the most important thing is to protect your head and cervical spine. You can hold the pillow with one hand and the back of the neck with the other hand, bend your body, don't run around, and protect on the spot. Pick up your child as soon as possible; when the escalator goes backwards, quickly hold the handrail, lower your body to keep stable, communicate loudly with people around you, stay calm, and avoid crowding and trampling. Let's learn more about how to prevent escalator safety accidents.

1. Don't let young children take the escalator alone. Escalators may sometimes break or reverse, and escalators with missing teeth are easy to get children's hands stuck. If the child is relatively young, parents should take care of the escalator, and parents are better to let the child stand in front of their bodies.

2. Don't play with mobile phones and tablets while riding the escalator, and pay more attention to the safety of your feet.

3. Don't step on the yellow safety warning line and the part where two steps are connected, and don't walk or run on the escalator to avoid falling or falling.

4. Don't touch the escalator baffle with shoes and clothes. If there is an emergency, there is a red button near the ground at the entrance of the escalator. It is the emergency brake button. In case of a child's hand getting stuck, you can press this button and the elevator will stop.

5. Do not stay at the entrance and exit of the escalator, do not let children run back and forth on the escalator, and do not kick the escalator belt board with your feet to avoid danger.

6. Do not extend your head and limbs beyond the handrail device to avoid being hit by obstacles, ceilings, and adjacent escalators.

7. Do not squat on the step pedal, and do not place your handbags on the step pedal or handrail to prevent rolling and injuring people.

8. Do not carry oversized suitcases, wheelchairs, trolleys or other large items on the escalator, but use a lift-type barrier-free elevator.

9. Do not put your hands in the gap between the steps and the apron board.

10. Do not go against the flow, climb, play, lean or rush, and it is best to leave an empty space in front and behind. Children cannot turn their backs to the escalator, sit on the steps, or run or play on the escalator in the opposite direction. Before a younger child takes the escalator for the first time, parents should teach the child how to step on the escalator for the first time. If you find that your child cannot keep up with the speed of the escalator, it is better for the parents to hold the child. When there are many people, it is safer to take the stairs.

In addition, if you find someone falling on the escalator, press the emergency brake button in time. Regardless of the up or down direction, there should be a striking red embedded or protruding emergency stop button at the bottom of one side of the escalator. The button is usually located in a place that is not easily triggered, but it is actually easy to find if you pay close attention.
