Emergencies

Elevator Malfunction

If you are in the elevator and it stops for no apparent reason remember to remain calm. Pressing the emergency button within the cab will alert Building Security that the elevator is malfunctioning. The cab number will be identified. The Security Officer will establish two-way communication with elevator occupants until help has arrived.

In the event of a power outage, one elevator in each elevator bank will continue to operate using the building emergency power generator. Should an outage occur, elevator lights will remain on, but the car itself will temporarily cease moving. Security will recall each elevator to the lobby one at a time until all elevator cars are in the lobby, their doors will open, where they will remain inoperable until the power has been restored.

IN THE EVENT OF A FIRE, ELEVATORS MUST NOT BE USED FOR EVACUATION. USE THE STAIRWELLS.
