Sanyo Elevator: 7 tips for seeking help when you are trapped in an elevator

Nowadays, elevators in various buildings have brought a lot of convenience to the lives of urban people. However, if the elevator breaks down, what self-rescue methods do the trapped people need to master? The following Ruixun Sanyo Elevator (Guangdong) Co., Ltd. will tell you!

1. After being trapped in the elevator, citizens should first remain calm and comfort other trapped people, telling them that the elevator slot has an anti-fall safety device, which will firmly clamp the rails on both sides of the elevator, and there is no safety problem.

2. Use an alarm, intercom or mobile phone to ask for help. If there is no alarm or intercom, and there is no signal on the mobile phone, you can knock on the door and shout loudly, or take off your shoes and knock on the door, asking for immediate rescue.

3. If you can't find an elevator mechanic immediately, you can ask someone outside to call the firefighters. Firefighters usually rotate the elevator up and down to the nearest floor and then open the door. If there is a power outage, firefighters can also use a manual actuator to twist the elevator.

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

5. Never force the inner door of the elevator. Even if it can be opened, the outer door may not be accessible, and the grease on the outer wall of the elevator may cause people to slip.

6. If there is an emergency exit on the elevator ceiling, do not climb out. The safety switch will stop the elevator after the exit plate is opened. However, if the exit plate is accidentally closed, the elevator may suddenly begin to lose balance. In the dark elevator slot, it may trip on the elevator cable or slip due to stepping on greasy dirt and fall from the top of the elevator.

7. An elevator trapped in a commercial building late at night or on a weekend afternoon may not be approached by anyone for hours or even days. In this case, the safest way is to stay calm and wait for an opportunity to seek help. It is better to endure thirst and heat to save lives, listen carefully to the movement outside, and if pedestrians pass by, send out a distress signal to attract the attention of others.
