Here are some tips and information on what to do if you are Stalled in an Elevator:
1. Remain Calm:
If the door does not open, you are still safe. Do not try to exit the elevator. Wait for trained emergency personnel to arrive. Even if the air temperature feels warm, there is plenty of air circulating in the elevator and its shaftway.
2. Press the Alarm or Help Button, and Use Any Available Communication Systems:
Push the alarm button and wait for someone to respond to you.
In newer elevators, there will be a HELP button instead of an alarm button this will place a call to a party that is trained to take action (i.e. elevator company, alarm company, etc.). It will give the exact location of the building and elevator you are in. Trained emergency personnel will answer the call for service within several minutes.
Some elevators have a two-way speaker system or telephone that will allow for communication between you and the building or rescue personnel. Do not be alarmed if you cannot be heard or if the phone does not work. Some phones are designed to only receive calls. Trained personnel should call when they arrive at the building.
3. Relax, and DO NOT Try to Extract Yourself from the Elevator:
NEVER try to exit a stalled elevator car. It is extremely dangerous. ALWAYS wait for trained emergency personnel. Your best course of action is to relax, get comfortable, and wait for professional assistance. You may be inconvenienced but you are SAFE.

Your weekly elevator quote of the day: “The elevator to success is out of order. You’ll have to use the stairs… one step at a time.”

Have a great day!

FORT LAUDERDALE — A car insurance adjuster was rushed to the hospital with fractured bones after falling down a condo elevator shaft during a meeting with a client, authorities said.

The accident happened Tuesday afternoon, moments after the insurance adjuster walked out of an elevator at Las Olas by the River condominium with a client who lived there, said Bob Rathmanner, who manages the building at 520 SE Fifth Ave.

The leash of the client’s dog got stuck in the elevator when the doors closed behind them, Rathmanner said. The insurance adjuster, whose name has not been released, tried to help his client free the animal.

When they pried open the doors, the insurance adjuster fell into the shaft, falling three stories to the bottom of the shaft, authorities said.

The building manager said the man could be heard at the bottom calling for help.

“He was conscious. I think he’s going to be OK,” Rathmanner said.

The man was taken to Broward General Medical Center with serious injuries, FortLauderdale Fire-Rescue spokesman Matt Little said.

A law requiring a uniform fire key for elevators in new or renovated buildings with six or more floors went into effect in Florida on October 1. According to PRWeb®, “under the Uniform Fire Key standard, Chapter 399 Florida Statutes requires one single key to operate all of the fire service key switches in the elevator lobby panels and car panels. Master elevator keys may be issued only to the fire department and the key may not be duplicated.” Affected buildings include those for which a building permit was issued after September 30, 2006, or for those which have undergone “substantial improvement.”
