What Should You Do When the Elevator Gets Stuck?

What Should You Do When the Elevator Gets Stuck?

For many people, getting stuck on an elevator is a scenario that only happens in movies. While the odds are low, there is a chance of this happening in real life, especially with a poorly maintained elevator. If you ever find yourself in this situation, it is best to be prepared.

How Should People Handle a Stuck Elevator?

When people first realize that the elevator is stuck, they may feel afraid and anxious. It might be tough, but staying calm is very important. Just keep in mind that most elevators don’t stay stuck for long.

As soon as the elevator gets stuck, someone should press the alarm button. This sends a signal to the people in charge of the building. Once they know there is a problem, they will send a team down to the elevator to resolve the situation. After the alarm button has been pushed, the riders should move away from the elevator doors.

What Should People Never Do?

Many people may want to fix the problem themselves. They may want to jump up and down or attempt to open the elevator doors. However, people should refrain from rescuing themselves as these actions may make the problem worse. Additionally, a stuck elevator may sometimes resume moving. People may incur injuries if they are halfway out of the elevator when this happens.

Do you want to make sure that no one gets stuck on the elevator in your building? Contact the professionals at Action Elevator today by calling 410-774-4573 or sending us an email. We can give your elevator the maintenance it needs, so you do not have to worry about the safety of your customers.
