Elevator safety during severe weather conditions is paramount, and we urge you to take proactive steps to gear up your elevators for the unpredictable challenges that lie ahead. Here are some important reminders to help you prepare
Prioritize a thorough inspection and maintenance check of your elevators. Schedule a visit from certified technicians to assess and address any potential issues that could compromise safety.
Verify that your elevators are equipped with reliable emergency power backup systems. Ensure they are in optimal working condition, capable of providing sufficient power during power outages or fluctuations caused by storms.
Secure your elevator shafts by installing storm shutters or covers to prevent water and debris from entering. Additionally, check for any gaps or leaks in the sealing and address them promptly.
Confirm that your elevators are equipped with reliable communication systems such as intercoms or emergency phones. These channels are vital in case of emergencies, allowing occupants to stay connected with emergency services or building management.
Develop and communicate a clear evacuation plan for building occupants. Ensure that everyone is aware of the designated safe areas and procedures to follow in case of an evacuation.
Stay up to date with the latest weather updates and advisories from local authorities. Timely information can help you make informed decisions regarding elevator usage during hazardous weather conditions.
