[Safety Knowledge] Did you know that the three positions of escalators are the most dangerous! ! !

Elevator "sick" operation?

Recently, online friends, said Shenzhen is now using the full 15-year elevator There are nearly 2 million units, according to relevant regulations, "Shenzhen Special Economic Zone special equipment safety regulations" requiring security assessments, but since the regulations take more than three years, these Elevators have been operating "with sickness" and have not undergone "medical examinations" and have not been supervised.

In this regard, the relevant person in charge of the special department of the Shenzhen Municipal Market and Quality Supervision Commission stated that the situation of online material explosion is not true. He said that as of now, Shenzhen has about 147,000 elevators . In the past three years, Shenzhen has continuously strengthened safety supervision, strengthened supervision, spot checks, and law enforcement inspections. It has comprehensively implemented lift load tests. The city’s elevator inspection rate currently stands at 99.8% , and the qualified rate of quality supervision and inspection for maintenance has reached 96.4% . For three consecutive years, passenger elevator death accidents have maintained zero records, and the elevator safety situation has remained steady and controllable.

Although Shenzhen Elevator’s “failed” operation has been proven to be false, the reason why this demolition material is widely viewed by netizens is precisely because people attach importance to elevator safety.

In recent years, with the continuous development of the city, people's lives have become increasingly inseparable from the elevators, and successive incidents of “elevating the elevators to eat people” have also triggered the attention of the public to the safety of elevators.

Visit: Elevator security situation is not optimistic

In view of the safety of elevators, a reporter recently visited and found through visits:

Escalator with warning sign and emergency button

Some citizens did not regulate their movements while riding an elevator

Nearly half of people do not know there is an emergency pause button on the escalator

Reminder: Take the escalator to pay attention to these details

So, what do you need to pay attention to while riding a escalator? What is the correct way to use the escalator? Where are the safety hazards on the escalator? When you are in danger when riding a escalator, what should you do?

Experts advise: When using a escalator, it is necessary to have some basic safety knowledge. For example, to know the position of the emergency stop button on the elevator, you need to know which areas of the elevator have potential safety hazards.

There are 3 security risks on the escalator :

Danger point 1 : armrest

Danger point 2 : Apron board and rung gap

Danger point 3 : Comb plate between upper and lower steps

Experts say, “Because the handrail is a movable part, the chance of accidents is slightly greater than that of some fixed parts. In the apron and step gap, it is easier to pinch the feet, or In general, the sum of the space between the apron board and the steps must not exceed 7 mm , and if the gap between the two becomes larger, when the shoes are close to the edge, they may be rolled up to this one. In the crevice, a yellow line is painted on both the front and back of each step, and the yellow line is the comb plate. The raised groove on the comb plate is responsible for the meshing of the upper and lower steps. If there is a missing tooth on the comb plate, the danger of being bitten will increase.

The expert reminded: “When you are riding a escalator, you must first see the direction of its operation, so as to avoid accidental ride in the reverse direction. When wearing shoes with laces or wearing long skirts to take the escalator, you must pay special attention to it. Be careful not to be caught, and then hold the handrails, and keep your feet steady on the steps, and do not rest on the sides of the ladder or leaning on the handrails.Stay as far as possible during the ride, and you should stand in the direction of the step motion. Do not walk freely. Another point to note is that you should not poke your body out of the handrail device to avoid being hit by a building. If an accident occurs during the operation of the escalator, people near the emergency button should press the button within the first time. ".
