Dealing with Elevator and Escalator Stoppages
- To conserve energy and indicate inoperability, turn off the lights inside the elevator car during downtime.
- Contact the designated elevator service company as per the contractual agreement or Property Management’s instructions to minimize expenses related to elevator maintenance and repair.
- Escalator stoppages can occur frequently due to accessible emergency stop buttons.
- Inspect the escalator for visible damage or unsafe conditions, paying attention to foreign objects between steps and stationary plates.
- Safely remove any foreign objects causing the stoppage after turning off the escalator using the emergency stop button.
- Immediately designate the escalator as "Out of Service" if there are unsafe conditions, visible damage, or if the foreign object cannot be safely removed.
- Report the stoppage and any necessary details to the escalator service personnel or the relevant maintenance department.
- If safe, attempt to restart the escalator after removing obstructions and ensure no passengers are on it during the process.
- Station another person at the opposite end of the escalator to prevent passengers from attempting to board it during the restart.
- After restarting, ride the escalator, listen for unusual sounds, observe for unsafe conditions, and ensure safe operation before allowing public access.
- Remove any "Out of Service" signs, barriers, or caution tape if the escalator operates safely and smoothly and monitor its operation continuously.
- If you detect any unusual sounds, vibrations, or unsafe conditions during the evaluation, immediately secure the area, turn off the escalator, and report the problem to maintenance professionals.
