Escalator safety tips
Here's how to prevent foot injuries in children when riding escalators:
1. Supervise
Supervise your child on the escalator.
2. Hold handrails
Always face front and hold the handrail firmly.
3. Be mindful
Once on the steps, be mindful of clothes with strings or straps, as they may get trapped between escalator grooves.
4. Avoid the edge of steps
Avoid the edge of steps where footwear can be trapped. Stand in the middle of a step instead.
5. Maintain a good distance
Maintain a good distance between the footwear and any moving metallic parts of an escalator.
6. Constant reminder
Remind children not to sit, turn around or play on escalator steps.
7. Do not lean
Do not allow children to lean on the handrails. |
