Author's note: special equipment is not only an important guarantee for production and operation, but also a prominent risk of safety production, constituting the main contradiction factor of "physical defense", and it is necessary to carry out equipment quality standards and excellence activities on a regular basis, and strive to achieve "zero defects and zero failures" in equipment
Dear readers, have you ever had a question about the safety management of the adjacent areas of escalators and moving walks? Today, I will explain the requirements in detail for you.
First of all, we want to be clear that in order to ensure the safety of passengers, the entrance and exit of the escalator or moving walk must have a sufficiently spacious area. The width of this unobstructed area should be at least equal to the distance of the outer edge of the handrail plus 80 mm on each side. Imagine a situation where passengers are prone to collisions or falls when entering and exiting an escalator if the width is insufficient. And the depth size is at least 25m, it is to ensure that passengers have enough space when going up and down the escalator to avoid crowding and pushing.
Secondly, a certain safety distance must be maintained between escalators and moving walks and surrounding obstacles. If this distance is less than 400mm, then a vertical protective baffle should be set up. Such a baffle can effectively prevent passengers from accidentally falling into the gap and causing accidental injury.
Finally, we also want to note the horizontal distance between the outer edge of the handrail and the wall or other obstacle. In any case, this distance should never be less than 80mm. The purpose of this is to prevent passengers from being injured as a result of the collision. Imagine if this distance is too small, the passenger's limb can easily touch a wall or obstacle outside the handrail, causing scratches or more serious injuries.
To sum up, the safety management requirements for the adjacent areas of escalators and moving walks are very strict. These requirements are designed to ensure the safety of every passenger and to avoid accidents. Therefore, when we use these devices, we must strictly follow the relevant regulations to ensure the safety of ourselves and others.
