Escalator safety

By Mike
  • Always face forward and hold the handrail.
  • Avoid the edges of steps where entrapment can occur.
  • Learn where the emergency shutoff buttons are in case you need to stop the escalator.
  • Be aware that loose shoe laces, drawstrings, scarves, and mittens can get trapped in escalators.
  • Always hold children’s hands on escalators and do not permit children to sit or play on the steps. Do not bring children onto escalators in strollers, walkers, or carts.
