In an elevator incident where teachers and students were trapped, no one answered the three calls for help during working hours. The only "campus security" person on duty who answered the call was questioned by the outside world, causing netizens to criticize the National Penghu University of Science and Technology for its loose management. The school held an emergency meeting of supervisors today (16th) and issued a formal apology statement.
According to information, teachers and students at Pengke were suddenly trapped while riding in the elevator of the teaching building on the 15th. The trapped personnel first pressed the emergency bell in the elevator, then tried to contact the security room through the intercom, and even called the General Affairs Office, but they were "empty city" one after another, and no one answered. Therefore, the trapped professor called the school security according to the information provided in the elevator. Someone answered the phone at the second call, but the school security responded with "Where is the elevator in the teaching building?", which made everyone trapped deeply uneasy.
In addition, the school security guard on duty did not immediately activate the rescue mechanism. Instead, he questioned whether the professor who called should report it to the General Affairs Office. He also said that he would have to call the General Affairs Office and send someone to deal with it. In the end, after the professor continued to ask, the rescue was gradually launched. The teachers and students were trapped for 10 minutes before they were freed.
Zhuang Guohui, vice chairman of the Magong City Congress, questioned, "If this call was made by a classmate, how long would it take to spin before getting out of the elevator?"
In response to this elevator escape room incident that the outside world calls "campus safety" instead of "laughing safety", the Peng Ke University issued an emergency statement today to express its apology, admitting that the trapped elevator was an emergency safety incident. After receiving the notification, the first-line personnel should immediately confirm the condition of the trapped person, activate the rescue mechanism, continue to explain the progress of the handling, and comfort the parties concerned with respect and empathy. The maintenance vendors were notified to inspect and suspend use until safety was confirmed. At the same time, a comprehensive inventory of the school's elevator safety devices, emergency call systems, regular maintenance and fault notification records was conducted, and the standard operating procedures for trapped elevators were re-examined, and the communication between school security, security, general affairs, fire protection and maintenance vendors was strengthened.
The trapped students used their mobile phones to call the General Affairs Office, but no one answered during working hours. (provided by Bubble)
