Nowadays, there are more and more high-rise residential areas, and elevators have become a tool for people to go up and down every day. Elevator safety has also attracted people's attention. The data shows that although many residents are concerned about the safety of elevators, they ignore some factors that affect the safe operation of elevators in the process of use, which leads to the occurrence of elevator failures.

Garbage blocking elevator chute

"Is in a hurry to go to work, this elevator door and can't close, can you send someone to look at it?" Yesterday morning at 8 o'clock, Cangzhou City Elevator Emergency Response Center received a rescue call, the staff immediately arranged for maintenance units to repair. The maintenance personnel found that the elevator door could not be closed because there was too much garbage in the chute at the lower entrance of the elevator. They cleared the garbage and the elevator door could be closed.

"Some residents are used to sweeping the garbage in the building hall into the gap between the elevator door and the elevator car. Some residents throw cigarette butts everywhere, which may cause the elevator door chute to be blocked and the door cannot be closed." A maintenance officer said. According to his introduction, elevator failures are often caused by human factors rather than equipment. When they repair, they often find small stones, sand, melon seeds, peanut skins, cigarette butts and other garbage in the chute at the lower entrance of the elevator.

According to reports, the man-made causes of elevator failure include: the blockage of domestic garbage leads to the blockage and shutdown of elevator doors, and the barbaric handling leads to the deformation and shutdown of elevator doors; Decoration garbage causes the door to be blocked, overloaded, and blocked for too long. The Elevator Emergency Response Center of the Municipal Market Supervision Administration conducted a statistical analysis of the causes of elevator failures in the city and found that elevator failures caused by human causes accounted for nearly 40% of all elevator failure categories. Similar elevator failures often occur, but also bring security risks to people taking the ladder.

Trapped elevator don't panic

In addition to the elevator failure caused by human factors, the failure caused by power failure, water inflow in the elevator shaft, elevator parts problems, etc., can also cause the elevator to suddenly stop or fail to operate. The staff of the Municipal Elevator Emergency Response Center reminded the public that the elevator shutdown is a self-protection to prevent the car from falling to the bottom after the elevator encounters a failure. Therefore, don't panic when the elevator suddenly stops running, you can call "96365" for help.

"Some citizens may worry about the lack of oxygen in the trapped elevator, but in fact, the elevator car is not completely airtight and has special ventilation facilities, so it will not cause hypoxia." According to the staff, people are mentally nervous in a claustrophobic environment and feel that breathing is a subjective feeling. Therefore, when trapped in the elevator, you must calmly wait for rescue.

It is reported that the municipal elevator emergency disposal platform system was officially put into operation on July 25, 2018. Up to now, a total of 28060 sets of vertical elevator data have been collected and imported. Among them, 3070 new units will be collected and imported elevator data will be added in 2021. The elevator emergency disposal platform, as the emergency disposal command and dispatch department of vertical elevators in use in the city, locks the information of faulty elevators through data and geographic information systems, and dispatches relevant maintenance units to carry out timely rescue by police receiving personnel, thus constructing a three-level rescue response system. The platform uses "96365" as the elevator emergency rescue line in Cangzhou City, providing elevator rescue and fault acceptance services 24 hours a day, as well as accepting public inquiries and complaints about elevator safety.

When citizens encounter elevator failure while taking the elevator, they can directly call the "96365" hotline and provide the 6-digit identification code on the emergency response sign. The police officer can quickly lock the specific address of the failed elevator. The emergency response center will conduct unified dispatch to the maintenance unit and the public rescue unit to ensure that the trapped persons are rescued as soon as possible.

The elevator must be civilized.

"the high incidence of elevator emergency disposal in the city is mainly concentrated in residential areas, which is positively related to the large number of elevators in residential areas and the high frequency of use." According to the relevant person in charge of the Municipal Elevator Emergency Response Center, citizens living in middle and high-rise communities need to take elevators every day. Sooner or later is the peak period of taking the elevator, and there are too many emergency responses received during these two periods, and many elevator failures are caused by uncivilized elevator use.
