Safety tips for elevator and escalator passengers
Putting these tips into practise can help improve the safety, reliability and performance of your equipment.
- In case of a fire or other emergency, use stairs instead of elevators.
- Parents should accompany children at all times and discourage them from playing in or around the equipment.
- Passengers should keep away from the elevator doors during the ride. Those travelling with children should hold their hands, and pets should be kept close on a leash.
- If you notice something unusual in the elevator, such as sounds, smells, or malfunctions in the lighting system, call your local KONE Customer Care Centre to schedule an inspection.
- In the event a passenger gets trapped in an elevator, remember that elevator cars have sufficient ventilation and plenty of oxygen. Call the KONE Customer Care Centre for immediate assistance.
