Self-help methods in trapped elevators:

In most cases, passengers are trapped in the car due to the power failure or failure of the elevator. At this time, the elevator car is stuck between the upper and lower floors. The space in the car is small and passengers are unfamiliar with each other, which is easy to produce fear. At this time, the most important thing is to keep calm, do not panic, and trapped passengers should comfort each other.

When trapped in the elevator car, passengers should immediately press the alarm button or intercom button on the control panel in the car to call for help. As soon as possible, they can contact the company security and elevator maintenance personnel. The location of the faulty elevator and a brief on-site situation. If there is a power outage, or there is no signal from the mobile phone in the elevator, please keep calm, keep your strength, and wait for help when facing this situation. You can choose to shout loudly outside, or pat the elevator doors intermittently, or tap the elevator doors with hard soles, waiting for rescuers.

After getting in touch with the rescuers, just wait patiently to take care of the old and weak women and children in the car. Usually rescuers will be able to rush to the scene within 30 minutes.

In the case of helplessness, the most important way is to stay calm, save energy, and wait for rescue. When you hear someone outside, you can continuously tap the car door to call for help in rhythm.

At the same time, discourage others from trying to escape by slamming the door or slamming the door. The elevator rescue needs professionals or the fire brigade. Try not to rescue it without permission. When the elevator malfunctions, the door circuit sometimes fails, and the elevator may start abnormally. If it is dangerous to force the door, it is easy to cause personal injury. In addition, because the trapped people don't know the floor position they were in when the elevator stopped, blindly opening the elevator doors may also fall into the elevator shaft.
