A Review of Escalator Accidents and Preclusion
Journal Title: GRD Journal for Engineering - Year 2016, Vol 1, Issue 12
Abstract
The study in this paper describes retrospective view of the escalator accidents. It also deals with the epidemiology of escalator allied injuries among adults and even in children from the delineation of Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) and National Electronic Injury Surveillance System (NEISS). Invention of escalators has facilitated the travel of passengers in large number. It strengthened the power of technology at the same time it frightened the pedestrians, remembering that it is dangerous if it is used in a careless manner. Work in this paper gives a clear cut view of the escalator linked accidents, preventive measures required to overcome the fear called "escalator-accident". This paper also gives the classification of the escalator accidents in terms of age groups of the people using escalators and also in terms of escalator correlated injuries. It also describes the percentage distribution of the accidents among different age grouped people. CPSC has found that the escalator implicated accidents are more in number than those compared with that of the elevator related accidents. Escalator linked injuries occur more frequently and this frequency of occurrence results in significant trauma.
