When stuck in an elevator

Here are seven rules to follow if you get stuck in an elevator, as issued by the Kyiv city government (Ukraine).

1. Stay calm : Staying calm is the best way to stay safe when you are stuck in an elevator, there is no need to panic.

2. Don't do these things : Don't press all the buttons in succession, don't jump in the elevator, don't try to open the elevator door and find a way to escape through the slightly open door or the door in the ceiling, according to visitukraine.today .

If the door opens, stay calm and watch. If you are between floors, do not try to climb or crawl out because the elevator can move again at any time and cause an accident.
