Proper Things To Do In The Midst Of An Elevator Service Bend Emergency

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.

Make sure you know where the emergency button is. This is your passport to be able to get out. Press that button once so someone would notice what is happening with the elevator and that someone is trapped inside. After doing so, wait for 10 minutes at most until someone is there to help or fix the elevator. If you still do not notice any changes, press the button again. Do it every after 10 minutes because the person in charged might be there already to fix the lift and might just take him long to do so.

Try to open the door using your hands. Their are instances that the only problem is the door opening. Their are also times when it just got stuck on something. Once opened, try to check if it is possible for you to get out safely or if the elevator is on a safe floor. If not, then opening it is of no use. But that does not mean that your efforts just got wasted. Once opened you can shout to the peak of your voice and cry for help. You can only do this if you have successfully opened the door.

Having a little something to eat is also good. You do not know how long you will be staying inside so better be safe by having a piece of sandwich or a pouch of biscuit. You might be hungry while inside and if you can not eat, you might collapse.

It is always best to make sure that you are with someone. Only ride when someone is already inside or someone is also going where you need to go. In any situations, make sure you are ready.
