- If an elevator stops between floors, or the doors will not open, use the elevator phone or alarm button to call for help. Physical Plant/security personnel will respond.
- If the elevator stops during an earthquake, the phone may not work. Emergency plans have been developed for such an event, and Physical Plant personnel will be automatically dispatched to check all elevators.
- Never attempt to pry open the doors or overhead hatch of a stopped elevator. Such actions by unskilled personnel may result in injury/death. Specially trained elevator mechanics will take care of the problem.
