What are the self-help methods for elevator failure

There are many things in life that are not satisfactory, and natural disasters and man-made disasters are also unpredictable. In today's cities, although elevators have brought great convenience to people's lives, what should we do if the elevator breaks down? What are the self-rescue methods for elevator failures? Let's take a look at the simple introduction of this article and see how to deal with elevator failures.

1. Stay calm and comfort the people trapped together, explaining to everyone that there is no danger and the elevator will not fall down the elevator shaft. The elevator trough is equipped with an anti-fall safety device, which will firmly clamp the rails on both sides of the elevator, and the safety device will not fail.

2. Use the alarm, intercom or mobile phone to call for help. If there is no alarm, intercom, or your mobile phone is out of service, you can knock on the door and shout. If you are afraid of hurting your hands, you can take off your shoes and knock on the door, asking for someone to come and rescue you immediately.

3. If you cannot find an elevator technician immediately, ask someone outside to call the firefighters. Firefighters usually winch the elevator up or down to the nearest floor and then open the door. Even if there is a power outage, firefighters can use a manual machine to lift the elevator up and down.

4. If there are no trained rescuers outside, do not climb out of the elevator by yourself.

5. Never try to force open the inner door of the elevator. Even if you can open it, you may not be able to reach the outer door. It is certainly not possible to open the outer door and escape safely. Grease and dirt on the outer wall of the elevator may also cause people to slip.

6. If there is an emergency exit on the elevator ceiling, do not climb out. Once the exit panel is opened, the safety switch will stop the elevator. However, if the exit panel is accidentally closed, the elevator may start moving suddenly, causing you to lose your balance. In the dark elevator shaft, you may be tripped by the elevator cable, or slip on grease and fall from the top of the elevator.

The above is an introduction to the self-rescue methods for elevator failures. I believe that through the introduction of this article, you will have a better understanding of what to do when encountering an elevator failure. There are many common emergencies in life, and we should know more about the response policies, which is very helpful for ensuring our life safety.
