What should you pay attention to when taking the elevator?

With the development of science and technology, human society has become more and more developed, and many means of transportation have emerged. For example, many high-rise buildings now have elevators. Elevators have entered our daily lives and become a necessity. However, if the elevator is not used in accordance with the regulations, there will still be some dangers. In order to avoid accidents, we should learn more to prevent problems when taking the elevator.

1. Don’t mess with buttons

When calling the elevator, passengers only need to press the call button for the direction they are going. Do not press both the up and down buttons at the same time to avoid unnecessary car stops and reduce the overall transportation efficiency of the building's elevators. At the same time, this is also to avoid the safety device from erroneously operating, causing passengers to be trapped in the car and affecting the normal operation of the elevator.

2. Don’t put your hands on the door panel

When the elevator door is open, be sure not to put your hands on the door panel to prevent your fingers from being squeezed when the door panel retracts. When the elevator door is closing, do not put your hands on the edge of the door to avoid affecting the closing action or even squeezing your fingers. When taking a child with you, you should hold the child tightly with your hands or hold the child when taking the elevator.

3. Keep a distance from the elevator door

When riding an elevator, you should keep a certain distance from the elevator door for safety reasons. Because when the elevator is running, the elevator door is connected to the shaft and the relative speed is very fast. If the elevator door fails, passengers near the door will be in great danger.

4. Don't jump in the elevator.

There are many safety protection switches on the elevator car. If you jump in the car, the car will tilt severely, causing the protection switch to operate and the elevator to enter the protection state. Once this happens, the elevator will stop immediately, trapping passengers.

5. Don’t block the door with your body

Many people are accustomed to using their bodies to block the door when entering. Although it is not dangerous, if you press it for too long, the elevator control part will think that the elevator has a malfunction. It's possible to call the police or even stop. So the more appropriate thing to do is to press the door opening button after you enter. It is particularly important to remind you that some people stand at the elevator door, blocking the door, which is very dangerous. Because it is safe inside the elevator and it is safe outside. But if you stand at the intersection of these two spaces, and at this time, what we commonly call the door opening and car moving situation occurs, this person will be sheared. So this is a very dangerous position and you should not stay at this junction.

6. The freight elevator cannot be used as a passenger elevator.

Some units are not allowed to use a freight elevator as a passenger elevator. The difference between a freight elevator and a passenger elevator is its decoration, or its comfort level is slightly lower. There are no special requirements for vibration and noise indicators. There is another type of freight elevator that absolutely cannot be used as a passenger elevator because it exceeds the area. Because sometimes the products made in the factory are relatively light, they hope to make the car bigger, so after approval from the relevant departments, the area of ​​the car is larger than the standard one. If this type of freight elevator is used as a passenger elevator, it will be overloaded.
