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 available almost everywhere. As long as the building is above 5 floors, there should be an elevator. They are most needed by people who are in a rush, carrying something heavy or just too lazy. There are unavoidable instances when the elevator breaks down. Here are some tips you can do when you are stuck inside.

Always stay calm. This sure sounds easy for you. But admit it, when in trouble and escape is nearly impossible, you can not help but panic. Always put in mind that there sure will be someone to help you and that the maintenance team is already fixing things so they can turn the lift back on.

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.

For sure, the lights are also off while you are inside. The easiest device or gadget you can look for is your phone. Make sure that it is always fully charged when you leave as it is so useful in making calls or serve as a light during emergencies. If you also have a handy flashlight at home, you may also use that.

All elevators have emergency buttons. Make sure that you are familiar where it is. It would your ticket to being saved. Press the button immediately after the elevator broke down to get a faster help from someone outside.

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.

Always bring something to eat inside your bag or pocket. You never know how long you will stay inside. If you are with someone inside, talk about interesting things. It could be about sports, movies or anything where you can get your mind out of what is happening. Act normal so the people inside will not panic too.

Always make sure that you have your phone with you and that it is fully charged. You can also have any handy gaming consoles inside to help you keep calm and focus your attention to something else while waiting for everything to be fixed. Always make sure that there will be something you have that can takeaway your fear and panics. It does not help if you keep on shouting inside too. You will have your way out in no time when your attention is on something else. Just to add up on tips for your safety, allow other passengers to go out first before entering to avoid chaos. Make sure that you are holding your kids so you can protect them from anything that might happen while inside.
