Schneider Wishes You a Happy and Safe Travelling Between Floors!
Almost every residential or organization today has an elevator or escalator installed. These tools carry a large number of people every day. We rely on these machines every day to get us from place to place, which unfortunately makes many of us take them for granted. At Schneider, passenger safety is our number one concern, however, not sometimes scheduled maintenance and best practices can prevent injuries caused by equipment misuse.
As the holiday season approaches, escalators and elevators will see quite an increase in a number of people making use of them. It is important to note that proper training and remember that these machines require you to be attentive while riding and avoid situations that put riders at risk.
Safety should be the first priority and it involves everyone from technology and maintenance service providers to building owners as well as tool users. There should always be proper training to members and employees as they will further lead the customers on how to properly use the tools. There should be proper training on how to stop an escalator in case of emergency.
At the time of additional traffic in a place, additional staff should be employed and proper assistance should be provided. In addition, if a child is in a stroller or elderly person is using a walker or similar aide, they should be personally checked on.
An elevator or escalator has to be used properly by all and we need to be alert at all the times, mostly with the kids, for example, by holding the hands of children when riding an escalator or elevator, not blocking the closing elevator doors or keeping the children away while the doors are opening or closing.
Building owners and maintenance service providers are responsible for making sure equipment are professionally maintained and kept in good condition.
At Schneider, we offer regular maintenance services and training without the product would be incomplete in a sense. One of the greatest advantages of having Schneider Elevator as your elevator/escalator partner is that all spare parts are available and replacing parts is part of the maintenance process.
