Workers trapped in the elevator for 5 hours "emergency call for help" no one to respond, break the elevator to save themselves was asked to compensate for losses

Mr. Lu, who is engaged in decoration work in Hebi, reported that on March 9, his decoration workers were trapped while taking the elevator. During this period, he pressed "emergency call" many times and no one was rescued. Nearly five hours later, the workers used their tools to break the elevator and contacted themselves for rescue. But now the incident residential property, but asked the workers to compensate for the damage to the elevator.

What is this all about, the top news Henan Business Daily reporter conducted a multi-interview.

Decoration workers were trapped in the elevator for nearly five hours, but they were asked to pay compensation for their own rescue.

On March 17, Mr. Lu told the top news Henan Business Daily about the process of the incident. In November last year, he contracted the renovation project in Building 46 of Dongfeng Century City Community in Hebi City. During this period, the construction was quite smooth. However, when the workers took the elevator on March 9 this year, the elevator suddenly fell into the middle of the interlayer between negative one and negative two.

Mr. Lu said that the workers had been trapped from 9:30 in the morning until more than 11 o'clock. No one answered the "emergency help" button many times in the middle, and the mobile phone they carried with them had no signal. After more than two hours of waiting, there was still no one to rescue, and the workers gradually felt it was difficult to breathe, so they used the tools they carried to break the elevator door. However, due to the accident, the elevator was stuck between the negative first floor and the negative second floor and could not find the cell phone signal. Then the workers used tools to cut open the elevator shaft wall and contacted themselves at more than 1 pm.

"After receiving the worker's call for help, it took me more than ten minutes to get to the scene," Mr. Lu said. At that time, he saw that the worker had opened a big hole above the elevator door on the negative second floor, about 2 meters from the ground. He then found a ladder to successfully rescue the workers.

Mr. Lu told reporters that he received a call from the person in charge of the project on March 13, asking himself and the workers to compensate nearly 6000 yuan for the damaged elevator.

He was very puzzled by this, "How many times did you ask for help in the middle, and no one came to the rescue. Instead, it was wrong to start self-help, and compensation was required?"

What was the situation then?

Top News Henan Business Daily reporter contacted the trapped decoration worker Jia Shifu, who said the situation was basically the same as what Mr. Lu said.

Master Jia said: "I was frightened at that time. After the failure, no one responded by pressing the emergency call button many times. During the period, I kept shouting for help, but no one answered. Later, I felt that my breathing was gradually difficult, so I remembered to use tools to help myself."

Master Jia did not understand the act of self-help being claimed. "" I really don't understand that it's wrong to save yourself? Can you just wait for others to rescue you when you are trapped and the sky is not working and the ground is not working?"

The residential property said that the elevator "emergency call" button was normal and there were personnel on duty 24 hours a day.

Whether the elevator "emergency call for help" can be used normally, and whether the personnel on duty of the residential property received "emergency call for help"? In response to this situation, the top news · Henan Business Daily reporter contacted the staff of the property section of the Oriental Century City residential area in Hebi City.

The worker said that building 46 was a problem building because it was a work-to-house. it was just delivered last year under the negotiation of relevant government departments, but it did not meet the delivery conditions of the property. now the elevator maintenance of the building is carried out by the project department.

At the same time, the staff member said that all the elevators in the residential property have personnel on duty to deal with the trapped personnel. Even if there are no personnel on duty or need to leave temporarily, the "emergency call" will be transferred to the front desk of the property or the person in charge of the engineering department and his own mobile phone. On the day of the incident, the telephone number of the staff on duty, the front desk of the property, the person in charge of the engineering department and himself did not receive the "emergency call for help.

Why does the residential property require compensation from trapped workers?

The staff member told the top news Henan Business Daily that because the trapped workers did not call the residential property personnel for rescue, they used violent means to forcibly break the elevator door and cut through the elevator shaft between negative one and negative two, which caused great losses, so they needed compensation from the trapped workers.

At the same time, the staff member said that the elevator belongs to the passenger elevator, not the freight elevator, and the decoration workers belong to the illegal use of the elevator.

The trapped worker was forced to save himself after claiming that he had repeatedly called for help without an answer.

On March 17, the top news Henan Business Daily reporter once again contacted the trapped decoration worker Jia Shifu. Master Jia said that he took the elevator alone and did not carry construction materials, but only carried some tools with him. After being trapped, he pressed the "emergency call for help" button every ten minutes, but no one responded. He was forced to take self-rescue measures, forced the elevator to break and cut through the elevator shaft to save himself.

In response to the questions raised by the staff member, Master Jia said that after drilling through the elevator shaft, he contacted Mr. Lu. At the same time, Mr. Lu told the top news Henan business daily that he had not been able to get through the phone call to the property at that time, and the staff of the project department had not been able to get through the phone call. Later, the property contacted itself voluntarily to claim compensation for the damaged elevator equipment.

Subsequently, a reporter from Top News Henan Business Daily contacted the developer's project department to learn about the situation. The staff of the developer's project department said that under normal circumstances, decoration materials are not allowed to be transported by passenger elevators, but because the building has just been handed over, there are not many residents. There are many decoration personnel, so they are allowed to use it, and maintenance has been carried out many times during the period.

When the top news Henan Business Daily reporter asked when the maintenance was carried out, the staff member said it was not clear.

Guo shifu, the maintenance company responsible for maintaining the elevator in the building, said that the elevator in building 46 was recently maintained at the end of February and the beginning of March. if the "emergency call" button of the elevator fails, it may be caused by the elevator failure.

Lawyer: If there is no response to the "emergency call for help" many times, there is no need to compensate for self-help.

To this end, the top news Henan Business Daily reporter on the situation to Jintiancheng law firm Li Chun lawyer for consultation.

Lawyer Li Chun stated that according to the relevant provisions of Article 182 of my country's Civil Code, if damage is caused by emergency avoidance, the person who caused the danger shall bear civil liability. If the danger is caused by natural causes, the person who takes emergency refuge shall not bear civil liability and may give appropriate compensation.

If the emergency avoidance measures are improper or exceed the necessary limits, causing undue damage, the emergency avoidance person shall bear appropriate civil liability.

However, in this incident, master Jia belongs to the emergency shelter. if he presses the "emergency call for help" button many times to contact the relevant personnel of the property, no one will respond. during this period, the mobile phone cannot contact the rescue due to no signal, and there is a risk of suffocation. In the case of "emergency call for help", shouting loudly and calling the police for rescue to no avail, there is no need to compensate for the self-rescue behavior.
