Imagine: stepping into an elevator, pressing your floor, and suddenly… it stops.
You’re between floors. The doors aren’t opening.
Your first thought might be: “How do I get out?”
But this is the moment to stay calm. 🛗
If an elevator stops between floors, don’t force the doors or try to climb out. Use the alarm or emergency communication system to call for assistance. 🚨📞
Why?
If the elevator isn’t level with the landing, getting out on your own can be dangerous. KONE’s passenger safety guidance recommends staying inside and waiting for qualified assistance.
Once help arrives, engineers can investigate what caused the stoppage whether it involves the power supply, doors, controls, safety systems, or other components.
You may only see a stopped elevator.
An engineer sees an entire system working together to keep passengers safe.
So if it ever happens to you, take a breath. 😮💨
Stay inside. Call for help. Don’t force the doors.
At Chen Engineering PLC, we believe elevator engineering is about more than movement. It’s about making sure people can move safely even when something unexpected happens.
