By Linda Cantrell


There are a lot of tall buildings rising nowadays. Some are still under construction, some have been standing for long and some have just opened. These infrastructures are all built for random purposes. And considering their height, all of them sure has elevators.

Elevator service bend is what people rely on when in need of a transportation from one floor to another. People use this especially when they are carrying heavy loads, in a hurry or just too tired to use the staircase. There are times that this machine malfunctions. Even the building management can not assure that the elevator is 100 percent working all the time. These are instances that something might have gone wrong. Here are some tips that you can refer on in times like this happens.

Always stay calm. This sure sounds easy for you. But admit it, when in trouble and escape is nearly impossible, you can not help but panic. Always put in mind that there sure will be someone to help you and that the maintenance team is already fixing things so they can turn the lift back on.

Take a deep breathe and relax yourself inside. You may sit down and think of something else. Relaxing you body and mind will help you think positively while in the middle of the incident.

For sure, the lights are also off while you are inside. The easiest device or gadget you can look for is your phone. Make sure that it is always fully charged when you leave as it is so useful in making calls or serve as a light during emergencies. If you also have a handy flashlight at home, you may also use that.

All elevators have emergency buttons. Make sure that you are familiar where it is. It would your ticket to being saved. Press the button immediately after the elevator broke down to get a faster help from someone outside.

Try to open the door using your hands. Their are instances that the only problem is the door opening. Their are also times when it just got stuck on something. Once opened, try to check if it is possible for you to get out safely or if the elevator is on a safe floor. If not, then opening it is of no use. But that does not mean that your efforts just got wasted. Once opened you can shout to the peak of your voice and cry for help. You can only do this if you have successfully opened the door.

Make sure you have something to eat inside your pocket or bag. Even a small sized sandwich or some pieces of candies would do. You do not actually need to have so much as the emergency would not take days to be over. Just make sure that there will be something you can munch if you feel hungry inside. At least you will be energized.

Always make sure that you have your phone with you and that it is fully charged. You can also have any handy gaming consoles inside to help you keep calm and focus your attention to something else while waiting for everything to be fixed. Always make sure that there will be something you have that can takeaway your fear and panics. It does not help if you keep on shouting inside too. You will have your way out in no time when your attention is on something else. Just to add up on tips for your safety, allow other passengers to go out first before entering to avoid chaos. Make sure that you are holding your kids so you can protect them from anything that might happen while inside.
