PURPOSE:

To provide a procedure that can be easily followed in case a person is stuck in the elevator.

NOTE: Johnson Controls Inc. (JCI) is monitoring our elevator. The elevator is equipped with a sending unit that when triggered sends a recorded message to JCI. This is in accordance with ADA in the event the person in the elevator is deaf or cannot speak. The person stuck in the elevator also has two-way communica­tion.

Persons JCI will call in case of an emergency:

  1. Zach Ausmus (cell): 360-314-7386
  2. Zach Ausmus (desk): 360-947-3320
  3. Front Desk Old Main: 360-696-6321
  4. Custodial (cell): 360-635-7542
  5. Janet Kurz (cell): 360-921-0307
  6. Sean McCormick (cell): 503-929-7991

PROCEDURE:

The person listed above who receives the call from JCI inform­ing of a problem with the elevator should:         

a.    Call Kone's 24-hour number: 1-877-276-8691. Direct Kone personnel to the elevator.
b.    Reassure the passenger(s) that help is on the way. Ask the person(s) to once again try the button.
c.     Go to the floor where the elevator is stuck and wiggle the door. Then ask the person to once again push the button.
