ELEVATORS AND ESCALATORS SAFETY RULES
- ELEVATORS:
  1. Watch your step.
  2. Leave closing doors alone.
  3. If doors don’t open ring alarm button and wait.
  4. If there is a fire in the building use stairs.
- ESCALATORS
  1. Step on and off carefully.
  2. People only – NO strollers, carts, animals, luggage.
  3. Hold the handrail.
  4. Take care of younger children, never leave unattended.
  5. Do not touch the sides below the handrail.
  6. Stand facing forward.

Verbally quiz kids in a fun way; asking them questions about riding safely. Engage them and encourage answers when they raise their hands.
- Sample Question: Should you hold the handrail on an escalator or not? Make these simple.
