Safety

Safety is a joint effort

Safety involves everyone from technology and maintenance service providers to building owners and equipment users. We have global policies, processes, and guidelines in place to enable that our business activities, including subcontractor operations, are organized and conducted in a structured and globally harmonized way.

Everyone who uses an elevator or escalator needs to be conscious of their own behavior, for example making sure children’s hands are held when riding an escalator, and not blocking closing elevator doors.

Building owners and maintenance service providers are responsible for making sure equipment is professionally maintained and kept in good condition.

Children and safety

Habits learned young tend to stick. That is why KONE sees children as an important target group when it comes to reaching out on equipment safety.
