繼北京地鐵四號線電梯事故之后，上海也出現(xiàn)了奧的斯電梯自由落體事故，電梯安全問題一下子被擺在了桌面上。那么到底怎樣才能在搭乘電梯時保護(hù)好自己呢？電梯上又有哪些安全隱患呢？

Take care when stepping on and off the escalator; take extra care if you wear bifocals.

在上下扶梯的時候一定要留神，尤其是當(dāng)你還戴著眼鏡的時候。

Before stepping on, check your child's clothing (and yours) for loose or dangling parts (like shoelaces, drawstrings, mittens) which can be trapped in moving parts.

登上電梯之前，仔細(xì)檢查自己和自己的孩子的衣物有沒有松開或垂掛的可能被卷入扶梯的部分，比如鞋帶、 繩子、手套等。

Check your arms for bracelets and jewelry that may get caught.

檢查手鐲飾品等容易弄傷自己的裝飾物。

Hold on securely to your bags, cameras, and other things you may be carrying.

握緊自己的包、相機，以及其他的隨身物品。

Pay close attention to small children.

一定要格外注意小朋友的安全。

Teach your children to always face forward and stand still on the escalator.

讓孩子面向前方站，不要隨意移動。

Remind children never to sit on the steps.

告訴孩子千萬不要坐在扶梯臺階上。

Keep toddlers' shoes firmly on the step and away from the side. Soft rubber soles on children's shoes and boots can get caught in gaps between escalator wall and steps.

剛學(xué)會走路的小孩子千萬記得要站在臺階中間而不是臺階兩側(cè)，扶梯的銜接部位很容易夾住軟橡膠鞋或者小靴子。

Do not use floppy sandals and open-toe shoes in escalators. Always wear shoes when taking the escalator.

穿露腳趾的拖鞋或涼鞋應(yīng)該避免乘自動扶梯，赤腳乘扶梯更是大忌。

Use the elevator if you are shopping with a child in a walker or stroller. Escalator steps are not designed to accommodate strollers; these will not be balanced and may tip over.

如果帶著小孩子購物的話還是搭乘電梯井比較合適，上下扶梯不適宜平衡手推車，很容易翻倒。

If you must carry a stroller on the escalator, remove the child from the stroller. Carry the child and have one hand free to hold onto the handrail and keep your balance.

如果別無選擇，抱著小孩子，另一只手扶著小推車，再乘扶梯。

Tell your child not to lean on the handrail. This can slow down the escalator and may throw other people off balance.

告訴孩子不要倚靠扶梯扶手，這樣會拖慢其速度，還會導(dǎo)致其他人失去平衡站不穩(wěn)。

Take a little time to locate the emergency stop buttons on every escalator before you get on. These may be near the bottom, but sometimes alongside, the stairs.

上扶梯前，確定應(yīng)急按鈕的位置。該按鈕一般是在底層，但有時候也在側(cè)壁臺階旁邊。

Watch your step when you enter or leave the elevator.

上下扶梯要看準(zhǔn)臺階。

If the elevator doors fail to open upon stopping, push the alarm button and wait until help comes.

對于井式電梯，如果門忽然打不開，不要慌張，按下警報，然后等待營救人員。

Do not stop the closing doors of an elevator with your hands. Stand clear.

不要用手強行阻止正在閉合的電梯門，站穩(wěn)。

Do not use elevators when there is a fire.

發(fā)生火災(zāi)時避免使用電梯。

Life has No reset Button, Think Safety.

生命只有一次，留心方能安全。
