Campus Emergency Procedures - Elevator Failure
ELEVATOR FAILURE
- If you are in an elevator that stops between floors or the doors will not open, use the elevator alarm button or call for help. An authorized employee or elevator personnel will respond. Pick up the emergency elevator phone to call Campus Safety.
- Never attempt to pry open the doors or overhead hatch of a stopped elevator.
- Such actions by unskilled personnel may result in injury. Specially trained elevator mechanics will take care of the problem.
- Never attempt to jump out of the elevator if it is above floor level. This could result in injury or falling down the elevator shaft.
