Nowadays elevators come in all shapes and sizes, and travel at all various levels of speed. Please find a handy list of tips to know to when using an elevator.
Watch your step – the elevator car may not be perfectly level with the floor.
Stand clear of the doors.
Keep clothes and carry-ons away from the opening.
Hold children and pets firmly.
Passengers nearest to the doors should move first when the car arrives.
Never try to stop a closing door, wait for the next car.
Push and hold the DOOR OPEN button if doors need to be held open, or ask someone to push the button for you.
Pay attention to the floor indications.
If the doors do not open when the elevator stops, push the DOOR OPEN button.
In the event of an Elevator Emergency
If the elevator should ever stop between floors, do not panic. There is plenty of air in the elevator.
Never climb out of a stalled elevator.
Use the ALARM or HELP button, the telephone or the intercom to call for assistance.
Above all, wait for qualified help to arrive and never try to leave an elevator that has not stopped normally.
Emergency lighting will come on in the event of a power failure.
