A green “In operation” indicator (green light) shows the lift is safe to use.
Explanation
Elevators typically display a status indicator near the doors or on the control panel. When the lift is ready to operate and passengers may board, a green light or a sign such as “In operation” is illuminated. If the indicator is red or the sign says “Out of order” or “Not in service,” do not use the lift. Wait for the green signal and for the doors to open fully before approaching. Always follow posted signs and use caution; if you notice anything unusual, contact building staff or maintenance.
Key Points
- 1, Look for a green indicator or sign (e.g., “In operation”) near the lift doors to confirm it’s safe to use.
- 2, Red lights or “Out of order”/”Not in service” signs mean the lift should not be used.
- 3, Wait for doors to fully open, allow others to exit, and proceed only when the indicator shows it is safe.
