Tip #11 – Campus Elevator Safety: Campus Safety Awareness Month

Don’t get on a campus elevator (or any elevator for that matter) with someone you get a bad feeling about.  Always trust your instincts.   If you’re already in the elevator, get off at the next floor and take a different one. 

In an empty elevator, stand sideways by the button panel with your back to the wall so no one can get in front of you or behind you.  It there’s an emergency, hit all the floor buttons (NOT the STOP button) so the elevator will stop at every floor and afford an opportunity to attract attention to your plight or to escape.  

And please, report any suspicious persons to Security; maybe save someone else from a tragedy!   Crime Prevention 101
