Safety Inside An Elevator Service Bend

By Linda Cantrell


Due to our fast growing economy, there are also a lot of businesses coming in. As these businesses continue build their firms, that also build lots of buildings around. These infrastructures are of course with high tech machines already. They have all the fast moving engines to make life and work easier when inside their facility.

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.

As always, stay calm. That is the most common advises from everyone in any emergencies or situations. When you start panicking you are also starting to stop your mind from thinking properly. Always stay relaxed and think about what you can do to be able to get out.

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.

Elevator break downs often causes total black out inside the elevator. Immediately look for your cell phone or anything that can produce light while you are inside. You need to make sure that all emergency gadgets like phones and handy flash lights are fully charged. This is very useful especially when you ride a lift on a daily 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 opening the door. It could be that the elevator stopped functioning but has already landed on one of the floors in the building. If that happens, then you are lucky enough. You surely get off from being stuck. But if you are still in the middle of two floors, then it will be useless. Since the door has already opened, you can shout at the peak of your voice till someone hears you. But make sure that you only do it once as it might weaken you more.

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.

It is always best to make sure that you are with someone. Only ride when someone is already inside or someone is also going where you need to go. In any situations, make sure you are ready.
