It is like a vertical street in the city, which makes our life faster and greatly improves our travel efficiency. However, with the increasing frequency of elevator use, occasional elevator accidents are also constantly touching people's nerves. Elevator safety is not only a technical issue, but also a social issue. It requires the joint attention and efforts of elevator manufacturing and maintenance enterprises, property management departments and the majority of passengers.
