Police prompt: 6 kinds of behaviors to protect the safety of taking the escalator are undesirable

With the development of society, more and more shopping malls, stations, subway stations, airports and other public places are equipped with escalators. However, the incidents of escalator injuries from time to time are worrying.

In addition to the quality problems of escalators and the hidden environmental hazards of buildings around escalators, there is also an important reason for the accidents that hurt people. They are related to the bad habits of people on escalators. On the one hand, some uncivilized behaviors on escalators are very It may reduce the performance of the escalator and impair its function, which will bury hidden dangers for people to take the escalator in the future. On the other hand, some inadvertent behaviors may even directly lead to tragedy.

For this reason, a warm reminder to ensure the safety of riding escalators, we must first start from ourselves, to enhance safety awareness, abide by the elevator regulations, when standing on the running escalator, should support the handrails, facing the direction of operation, feet Step on the stepped yellow line to stand firm; the elderly and children must be accompanied by their families; do not extend the head and limbs out of the handrail; do not wear slippers to take the escalator.

At the same time, when riding the escalator, the following 6 common behaviors should also be eliminated:

1. Towing large or overweight items. Use escalators to tow large items or overweight items. Once the items are tilted or misplaced between steps or if they are not pushed up the floor in time when the escalator arrives, it is easy to bring down the rear passengers.

Second, lean on the side panel. Because the side panels are not synchronized with the escalator, passengers tend to stand unsteady when leaning on the side panels, or even fall over, and laces, skirts, and other items are also easily caught or dragged by the edges of the steps, comb plates, etc., causing danger.

Third, littering. Throwing cigarette butts, peels, bottle caps, product packaging and other debris while riding the ladder is likely to cause it to get stuck in the gap and affect the normal operation of the escalator.

4. Look at the phone and not the road. Looking down at the mobile phone while looking at the road while riding the escalator can easily cause you to trip and even cause people in the back to stumble.

5. Play retrograde. Some children do not pay attention to their parents, they will climb on the escalator, play retrograde, chase and play, easily fall due to inertia, and even cause serious accidents that their limbs are caught in the gap between the escalator conveyor belt and the pedal.

6. Escalator brushes should be used as shoe brushes. The function of the two rows of brushes on the escalator is to protect and isolate passengers from the gaps on both sides. If you use it as a shoe brush to wipe leather shoes, then the brush will be damaged after a long time, which will not play a protective role.

In addition, in the event of injury to the escalator, call passengers or duty personnel at the entrance and exit of the cascade and immediately press the red emergency brake button to stop the escalator or moving walkway to prevent greater injury. If the escalator reverses, first protect the head and neck, interlock with both hands and fingers, protect the back of the head and neck, and move the elbows forward to protect the temples on both sides. When you accidentally fall to the ground, bend your knees as far forward as possible to protect the important organs in the chest and abdominal cavity and lie on the side. When someone in front of him suddenly fell down, he immediately stopped and called for help, telling people behind not to move forward.
