First, how to protect yourself when you are trapped in a faulty elevator in your life?

Scene 1: Trapped elevator

ask for help

Call the emergency number: When you are trapped in the elevator, call the emergency number for help immediately. Tell the operator where you are, and the elevator is out of order, and the other party will try their best to help.

Slap the elevator door: Slap the elevator door with fists or hard objects to attract the attention of the outside world. If someone passes by and hears your call for help, they may stop to help you.

Call the emergency call button in the elevator: Many elevators have emergency call buttons, and you can get in touch with the control room or maintenance personnel after pressing the button. Please tell them your predicament as soon as possible and ask for help.

If you can't find an elevator repairman right away, please ask someone outside to call the fireman. Firefighters usually turn the elevator up or down to the nearest floor and then open the door. Even if there is a power failure, firemen can twist the elevator up and down manually. Don't climb out of the elevator without trained rescuers outside.

3. If you are trapped in the elevator of a commercial building in the middle of the night or on a weekend afternoon, no one may get close to the elevator for hours or even days. In this case, the safest thing to do is to keep calm and wait for help. It is best to endure hunger, thirst and sultry heat, save your life, pay attention to the outside situation, and try to attract his attention if a pedestrian passes by. If not, wait until office hours before knocking for help.

Wrong approach

1. Never try to forcibly push open the elevator inner door. Even if you can open it, you can't go outside the door. Of course, it's even worse to open the outer door and get out safely. The grease on the outer wall of the elevator may also make people slip.

If there is an emergency exit on the elevator ceiling, don't climb out. Once the exit panel is opened, the safety switch will stop the elevator. However, if the exit plate is unexpectedly closed, the elevator may suddenly start and lose balance. In the dark elevator slot, you may trip over the cable of the elevator, or you may slip off the top of the elevator because you step on grease.

3. It is forbidden to take excessive actions, such as skipping.

4, it is forbidden to lie on your back, lying on your back can easily lead to breathing difficulties.

Scene 2: The elevator descends.

1. If the elevator is broken, there will be an emergency when the elevator suddenly drops. At this time, no matter what floor you are on, you should quickly press the button on each floor, let the elevator start the emergency braking system, and let the elevator stop at a certain floor. The head and back are straight and close to the inner wall of the elevator, which serves as the protection of the spine. If there are handrails in the elevator, in order to fix the position and prevent the center of gravity from falling, it is best to hold the handrails tightly.

2. Keep a low posture and compress your body.

When the elevator descends, immediately take a low posture and try to compress your body together. If the elevator has no handrails, hold your neck with your hands to avoid neck injury. Knees are bent, and bending knees can bear heavy pressure. Point your toes and lift your heels to slow down the momentum.

This posture helps to reduce the possibility of injury, because your body will be more stable and reduce the force of collision. Try to cover your head with your hands and squat with your feet together as much as possible to reduce the impact when landing.

3. Find the best position when falling.

Try to find the best position to protect yourself when the elevator descends. This may be the corner, wall or fixed structure area of the elevator. These positions are relatively stable, which can reduce the risk of collision and injury. Avoid standing or unstable areas, because they are more likely to cause injuries when the elevator falls.

Step 4 get ready before landing

When the elevator descends, you should always be prepared that the elevator will touch the ground at some point. At this moment, you should be ready to leave quickly, keep a clear head and be ready to act at any time. Once the elevator lands, leave the elevator quickly and find a safe place to hide.

Second, what safety precautions should I pay attention to when taking the elevator?

1. Avoid overloading

Overload is one of the common causes of elevator accidents. Every elevator has a load limit, and exceeding the load limit will increase the risk of elevator failure. Therefore, when taking the elevator, please observe the load regulations of the elevator and avoid overcrowding as much as possible. When the elevator is overloaded, don't squeeze into the car or move things in. If there are already many people in the elevator, you can wait for the next one for your own safety, and don't endanger your own safety for the time being?

2. Regular maintenance and inspection

Elevator is a kind of mechanical equipment, which needs regular maintenance and inspection to ensure its normal operation. It is suggested that elevator administrators or property management companies carry out maintenance and inspection in accordance with the prescribed maintenance plan, and repair them in time when problems are found. At the same time, passengers should also pay attention to whether the elevator has obvious faults or abnormal conditions, such as jamming and vibration, and report to the relevant person in charge in time.

3. Pay attention to safety warning signs

Safety warning signs are generally set inside and outside the elevator, such as load limit, panic button, safety exit, etc. We should pay attention to and understand the meaning and usage of these signs. In an emergency, these signs will become an important basis for us to seek help and protect ourselves.

4. Pay attention to the process of getting in and out of the elevator

Pay special attention to whether you enter or leave the elevator. Don't be impatient or rush into the closing elevator door to avoid a pinch accident. At the same time, when the elevator arrives at the destination, wait for the elevator to stop completely before leaving. Avoid trying to squeeze out the elevator before the elevator door closes, so as to avoid falling or being pinched.

5. It is not appropriate to take the elevator in these situations: the elevator has abnormal noise; If the floor and floor of the elevator car are uneven (indicating that the elevator is faulty); It is best not to take the elevator in thunderstorm weather. (Because the elevator room is usually on the roof, it is easy to attract lightning); Don't take the elevator that is about to be full; In case of fire, try not to take the elevator (smoke suffocation is easy to happen; The elevator may lose power at any time)

6, elevator first aid formula

If you still can't remember the above, remember the first aid formula, and parents can also use it to educate their children.

Don't be afraid that when the elevator stops suddenly, the telephone emergency door will flutter.

To cooperate with the rescue, be obedient and press the button layer by layer.

Keep your head and back close to the elevator wall, hold your neck and squat down.

Personal experience: Although elevator accidents are not common in life, there are still potential risks. It is important to know the self-protection measures when the elevator falls, but we should also pay attention to preventive measures to improve the safety awareness of the elevator to reduce the possibility of accidents.
