Safety Inside An Elevator Service Bend

By Linda Cantrell


Today, there are a lot of tall infrastructures rising up. From malls, hotels, business buildings, condominiums, apartments and many more. People who live in these tall buildings could not afford to just use the staircases. Of course, you surely can not imagine living on the 20th floor and going up and down daily bringing loads of things by just using the stairs. One of the most used machine in these buildings is the elevator.

Elevator service bend is what people rely on when in need of a transportation from one floor to another. People use this especially when they are carrying heavy loads, in a hurry or just too tired to use the staircase. There are times that this machine malfunctions. Even the building management can not assure that the elevator is 100 percent working all the time. These are instances that something might have gone wrong. Here are some tips that you can refer on in times like this happens.

Keep yourself calm. Never panic because this just empties your mind. You sure will not be able to concentrate on doing the right thing. Stay positive by thinking that there really is someone working on the matter.

Take a deep breathe and relax yourself inside. You may sit down and think of something else. Relaxing you body and mind will help you think positively while in the middle of the incident.

If the breakdown also causes the lights to turn off, you can use your cellphone to brighten the little space where you are at. Always be ready for times like this by bringing a handy flash light especially when you ride a lift on a regular basis.

Make sure you know where the emergency button is. This is your passport to be able to get out. Press that button once so someone would notice what is happening with the elevator and that someone is trapped inside. After doing so, wait for 10 minutes at most until someone is there to help or fix the elevator. If you still do not notice any changes, press the button again. Do it every after 10 minutes because the person in charged might be there already to fix the lift and might just take him long to do so.

Try to open the door using your hands. Their are instances that the only problem is the door opening. Their are also times when it just got stuck on something. Once opened, try to check if it is possible for you to get out safely or if the elevator is on a safe floor. If not, then opening it is of no use. But that does not mean that your efforts just got wasted. Once opened you can shout to the peak of your voice and cry for help. You can only do this if you have successfully opened the door.

Make sure you have something to eat inside your pocket or bag. Even a small sized sandwich or some pieces of candies would do. You do not actually need to have so much as the emergency would not take days to be over. Just make sure that there will be something you can munch if you feel hungry inside. At least you will be energized.

Always make sure that you have your phone with you and that it is fully charged. You can also have any handy gaming consoles inside to help you keep calm and focus your attention to something else while waiting for everything to be fixed. Always make sure that there will be something you have that can takeaway your fear and panics. It does not help if you keep on shouting inside too. You will have your way out in no time when your attention is on something else. Just to add up on tips for your safety, allow other passengers to go out first before entering to avoid chaos. Make sure that you are holding your kids so you can protect them from anything that might happen while inside.
