Greeting from AREX :)
Today’s post from AREX Safety Guide
will be on the safety precautions
you should remember when using an escalator or moving walk.
So here are some basic rules and
tips
that will help you use these
convenient facilities safely!
Escalator and Moving Walk Safety Tips 1
The elderly, people with
disabilities and young children
may require some assistance on
an escalator or moving walk.
Do not walk or run on an
escalator or moving walk,
as you may collide with someone
or your clothing may get caught in the moving parts.
Escalator and Moving Walk Safety Tips 2
Hold on to the handrail and do not move your body
(incl. arms) beyond the rail.
If you have a large bag, luggage, etc. with you,
grab on to is so that it does not fall over.
You might lose your balance if the escalator or
moving walk stops all of a sudden,
so always be careful when you are on one.
Escalator and Moving Walk Safety Tips 3
Do not place your feet past the yellow safety line.
Do not use the emergency stop button, unless it really is an emergency.
If you move your feet past the yellow safety line, your shoes might get
caught in the moving steps, etc.
Also, pressing the emergency stop button for no apparent reason might
make people fall and sustain injuries.
*Make sure to use the emergency stop button only in the event of an
emergency.
Escalator and Moving Walk Safety Tips 4
If you fall on the
escalator,
grab the handrail
for support and try to get up as quickly as possible.
If a piece of your
clothing, or shoelace, etc. gets stuck in the escalator,
remove it as
quickly as you can before seeking safety.
In the event of an accident on the escalator or moving walk,
shout and ask someone to press the emergency stop button.
Use the emergency interphone to report the incident to the station staff.
So remember these safety precautions when using an escalator or moving
walk.
