Elevators move millions of us every day, and a few simple habits help keep every ride smooth. 🛗

Here are some elevator safety tips worth sharing:

🟢 Let riders exit before you step in. Stay a few small steps back from the doors while waiting, giving everyone room to exit comfortably before you get on.

🟢 Watch your step. Check that the elevator is level with the floor before entering or exiting and always step clear over the gap into the elevator.

🟢 Stand clear of the doors. Never use your hand, foot, bag, or anything else to stop a closing door. Use the door-open button or wait for the next car.

🟢 Hold children’s hands, and keep pet leashes short. Keep little ones and four-legged friends close and away from the doors.

🟢 Stuck? Stay calm and stay put. Press the alarm or call button and wait for help. Never try to climb out.

🟢 In a fire, take the stairs. Elevators are not an exit during a fire emergency.
