How do you define an accident?
“User was shocked by 100V of electricity on the 4th floor.” “She said elevator door opened and just came back down as she exited.” “Toddler fell.” These phrases can be seem at the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation (DBPR) report on accidents involving mainly escalators and elevators. As October, there´s 55 more accidents this year than in 2017 statewide. But just one was reported in Alachua County so far. Elevators and escalators should be inspected at least once a year as stated by the United States Department of Labor. But it can be easy to miss an inspection, especially in private establishments. Since 2004, 49 accidents happened inside commercial buildings, and 21 inside the University of Florida (UF) campus. No deaths were reported. The malfunction of elevators´ doors lead to the main accidents. When attempting to enter an elevator that have its doors closing, people have been hit by them in the arms, legs and shoulder, sometimes leaving bruises. Power shortage can cause an elevator to stop working, especially inside UF. At least once a year there´s a case of an elevator that stop abruptly due to the lack of energy. A person received a shock of 100V in July at UF Bryant Hall, located at 1772 Stadium Rd., seeking need of medical attention later that same day. The cause of the electrocution is unsure. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) also release an statement saying that they are repairing about 1,250 elevators of certain models that presented issues when shipped and installed between 2014 and 2017. CPSC had no comments about the incident. Escalators accidents are a little different: people fall. As simple as that. Having their sandals and flip flops are the most common accidents involving civilians, aside from falling when not holding the escalator handrail. The Elevator Safety Advisory Council was going to discuss the possible causes of the increase in accidents in Florida this year, but their meeting on October 16 was cancelled due to Hurricane Michael. According to them, there was a 35 percent increase in accidents in comparison to previous years. Council members were unreachable by phone.
