1. Do not repeatedly press the button. When waiting for the lift, people often repeatedly press the button, which can cause the lift to stop by mistake and delay the journey. It can also cause the button to malfunction.
2. Do not stand between the hall door and car door. The elevator is most likely to get stuck between the hall door and the car door. Standing in the hall between the two doors is the most dangerous thing to do. Some passengers will also stop briefly to chat while getting on and off the elevator, which is very dangerous. Experts suggest that the best way to get on and off the elevator is to do so quickly.
3. Leaning on the door. Many people like to lean on the door while waiting for the lift, but if the lift opens and the car is not on the same floor, it is easy to fall into the shaft or get stuck between the car and the shaft.
4. Do not use your hands, feet, sticks or other objects to prevent the door from closing. When the elevator door is closing, people outside will use their hands, feet, sticks, or other objects to stop it from closing. Experts suggest waiting for the next elevator or asking passengers inside to press the door-open button. Those inside the lift should not reach out and probe, nor should they put objects they are carrying in the gap to prevent the doors from closing.
5. Do not bring dripping rain gear into the lift on rainy days. This will not only wet the floor, but water running down the gap into the shaft may also cause a short circuit.
6. As long as you see the door open, rush inside. In 2003, there was an accident in Chenzhou: when the hall door opened on the third floor, but the elevator was actually not arrive, a man hurried into and then fell down. Even worse, a woman behind him also stepped into, and the two of them fell to their deaths. If the door is wide open and you have not pressed the elevator button, you must stand your ground and look carefully in case of faults happen.
7. Never put your hands or tools into the gap to pull out coins or other objects that have fallen into. You should immediately inform elevator professionals to help deal with this, and you should not put your hands or tools into the gap to pull them out.
8. Do not jump and press buttons for fun while the car is moving. This kind of action often occurs with children who like to play in the lift and press the buttons on each floor as it moves up and down.
9. Weight overload. The general weight capacity of an elevator is 1000 kg, with a maximum capacity of 13 people. However, we often see them crowded with people, which is quite dangerous.
10. Violence to the elevator door. When a lift suddenly stops, many people panic and try to open the doors or climb out of the safety window. Neither of these actions is recommended.
