These figures highlight the significance of these accessibility devices in everyday day life and the role they play in improving the mobility and independence of people.

Elevators cars are designed to be “safe rooms” and are equipped with advanced safety mechanisms, allowing passengers to call for help if operation is stalled. However, accidents can occur. In some cases, accidents happen due to mechanical failure, faulty wiring, system, malfunction, and problem with the leveling. Moreover, accidents can also occur due to errors made by users. It is not only important for people to have basic knowledge on how to operate mobility devices, and also familiar with the steps to be taken when the device gets stalled. Here are some basic things that users should know about elevators and how to use them:

Stand away from the lift doors and stand out-of-the-way for exiting passengers

Take or wait for the next car in case the device is loaded to full capacity

If taking a ride with children, hold them firmly

Push and hold the “Door Open” button (incase the doors need to held open)

When riding

Observe floor indications

Make sure you stand near to the wall (if space available)

Hold handrails strongly (if accessible)

Push the “Door Open” button if the doors do not open automatically when the device stops

When exiting
