Warnings are posted at the entrance of the elevator, but few people pay attention to this warning

Parents must accompany children when using the elevator to avoid unnecessary dangers

Before entering the elevator, make sure the elevator has come to a complete stop. Absolutely do not lean on the elevator door, which will cause the door to open automatically and fall into the empty space outside the elevator's cabin.

When the ladder is operating in the same direction as the call command, when passing the user's position will stop and open the door, the waiting time will be faster, vice versa when the ladder is moving contrary to the call command, the ladder will return when ladder has finished serving previous calls. So do not rush to rush into the elevator, but have to observe.

Mr. Tien also shared that those who use the elevator for the first time will have a feeling of anxiety as soon as they step into the cabin. Closed elevator cabin structure. However, as soon as the elevator stops for users to enter the cabin, the principle of use is with the control panel in the elevator with recognizable symbols.

In addition to the floor number, up and down, opening and closing buttons, very few people know what the intercom and bell buttons are used for. With these 2 buttons used to communicate inside and outside the elevator room when an emergency situation occurs, you have a problem while in the cabin, just press this button to notify the outside.

When the floor door is closed without any obstacles, the elevator will move. In some cases, when entering the ladder but the ladder does not run, there is a siren sounding the words "Overload" on the control panel, which means that the ladder is in an overload condition.

As soon as some people accept to take the next trip out of the ladder, the ladder will automatically close the door and return to normal operation.

This technical expert also added that, in addition to reading and understanding the elevator user manual, it is a mandatory requirement for everyone to ensure safety when traveling with this modern equipment. Elevator users must also strictly comply with dangerous warnings when using elevators and technical requirements in accordance with regulations on safety standards.
