In emergency situations like an earthquake, safety is the top priority, especially when you're inside an elevator. At Alamex, we take pride in providing high-quality and safe elevators. Here are three key steps to follow if you find yourself in an elevator during an earthquake:
1. Stay Calm and Do Not Attempt to Exit the Elevator: We understand that the natural reaction might be to try to exit the elevator, but this can be dangerous. Our elevators are designed to automatically stop at the nearest floor, minimizing the risk of being trapped between floors. It’s best to stay calm and wait until the elevator has come to a complete stop before considering exiting.
2. Trust Our Seismic and Fire Sensor: Our elevators are equipped with an advanced seismic and fire sensor, a safety feature that detects earthquake and fire signals through an external sensor. This sensor syncs with the elevator's control system, ensuring that the elevator follows the required safety protocols. In the event of an earthquake, the elevator will stop at the nearest floor and open its doors for a safe evacuation.
3. Avoid Using the Elevator After the Earthquake: It is crucial not to use the elevator after an earthquake until a thorough technical inspection has been conducted. Although our elevators are designed to handle emergency situations, it is important to wait for a specialized technician to ensure that the system is in perfect working condition before resuming use. At Alamex, our maintenance team is always ready to ensure your safety.
At Alamex, we not only strive to provide efficient service but also prioritize your safety. By following these three key steps, you can be confident that you are in good hands during an earthquake.
