Elevators Safety Tips
（for elevator passengers）
Below are basic safety tips to ensure that your escalator usage is safe and comfortable.
Do not touch the door or try to force it open.
Your hand could get caught by the opening door, or the elevator could come to a sudden stop and you could be trapped inside. You could also fall or be injured.
If your clothing or any long, thin accessories (scarves, drawstrings, etc.) get trapped by the door, immediately press the Door Open button and move them away from the door area.
If the elevator starts moving while any clothing or accessories are trapped in the door, this could lead to injury or equipment failure.
Do not allow young children to play in the elevator. Do not jump in, shake, kick, or strike the elevator. Do not hit the elevator with other objects.
If the elevator car is subjected to any shocks, the safety device may activate, and you could be trapped inside.
Do not run into the elevator.
This may result in hitting the doors, getting caught, or falling.
Do not exceed the maximum capacity or load.
Failure to do so could lead to equipment failure. The elevator capacity and weight limit are indicated on the car operation panel in the elevator. If the weight limit is exceeded, you will be notified by an alarm buzzer or a voice message.
Press the buttons gently. Do not handle them roughly or press them with hard or sharp objects.
Handling buttons or switches roughly could lead to the elevator malfunctioning, and you could get trapped inside.
