What To Do In A Middle Of Elevator Service Bend Malfunction

By Linda Cantrell


There are a lot of tall buildings rising nowadays. Some are still under construction, some have been standing for long and some have just opened. These infrastructures are all built for random purposes. And considering their height, all of them sure has elevators.

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.

Sit down on the corner and breathe easy. That way, you will be able to feel relaxed allowing your mind to think properly. You can think about positive things so you can eventually think about a way to help you.

Elevator break downs often causes total black out inside the elevator. Immediately look for your cell phone or anything that can produce light while you are inside. You need to make sure that all emergency gadgets like phones and handy flash lights are fully charged. This is very useful especially when you ride a lift on a daily basis.

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 opening the door. It could be that the elevator stopped functioning but has already landed on one of the floors in the building. If that happens, then you are lucky enough. You surely get off from being stuck. But if you are still in the middle of two floors, then it will be useless. Since the door has already opened, you can shout at the peak of your voice till someone hears you. But make sure that you only do it once as it might weaken you more.

Make sure you have something to eat inside your pocket or bag. Even a small sized sandwich or some pieces of candies would do. You do not actually need to have so much as the emergency would not take days to be over. Just make sure that there will be something you can munch if you feel hungry inside. At least you will be energized.

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.
