On September 26, 2016, District 1 Police (HCMC) said that a man (63 years old) died after falling from the first floor elevator into the basement of Kumho building, located on Le Duan street. According to initial information, the cause was determined that this man did not follow safety rules when using the elevator.

Some elevator warnings that must be strictly observed are not to use your hands to open the car door, not to lean back on the car door, and stand far away from the door. In addition, do not carry bulky goods or overload the weight that the elevator can bear.
“In addition to strictly complying with warnings, elevator users must also know how to use them. For public elevators where there are many components and diverse participants, a few of them really have not had much contact with science and technology, "said Mr. Tien.
In order to use the elevator safely, the elevator technician said, on the outside of each elevator door, there will be two buttons to press up or down. With the arrow pointing up to move up and the arrow pointing down to go down.
To operate the elevator easily, users should carefully observe the buttons to go up and down the floor. When you press the button to call the floor, the elevator works normally, the light will signal that the command is received, when the elevator reaches the temple button, it will turn off.
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.
