The base must be a good unit structure, without the possibility of danger, and can be easily removed without hurting people. Its surface should be free of dirt, have no fire hazard, have no sharp edges, and should be strong without breaking. Escalator safety brushes should be soft, not to hurt the clothes, and should have a certain hardness, and the brush should be able to recover after the passenger’s shoe touches. Pinch accidents on escalators are the second most common accident after falls, and severe physical and psychological trauma can leave victims with lifelong scars. The advent of escalator safety brushes has taken a huge step forward in reducing the likelihood of such accidents. In major markets, the safety hazard caused by the entanglement of articles or shoelaces between the steps of the escalator and the side panels of the skirt is to install an escalator safety brush device on the escalator to ensure safety.

1. Before boarding, fasten your shoes and pay attention to the tightness of your clothes (such as long skirts and dresses) to avoid getting tangled in the edges of steps, combs, aprons, or inside covers.

2. When you’re ready to ride, ride in sequence, and don’t push each other.

3. Children must be accompanied by an adult.

4. When entering the escalator, keep your feet away from the edge of the escalator and stand within the yellow safety warning box of the escalator pedals to avoid falling. When riding a bicycle, stand facing the direction of pedal movement and hold the handrail with one hand in case you fall due to an emergency stop or push from others or other unexpected circumstances.

5. If the handrail is out of sync with the step operation due to a fault, please pay attention to adjusting the position of your hand at all times. As you leave, lift your feet up and take a quick step forward depending on the movement of the steps, stepping over the comb plate and landing on the front board in case your trip or your shoes get caught in the elevator.

I hope that the escalator pinching accident will not happen again and that the elevator strip brush can help you take the escalator safely.
