Child safety accidents that occur at escalators that are intended to provide convenience

An escalator is a convenience device for alleviate the inconvenience of walking up the stairs. It includes a yellow line on the footing for safety, recorded instruction announcement made when boarding and a safety instruction poster. In spite of these measures, safety accidents involving children frequently occur as they are 
not yet familiar with the machine operation, which can cause serious injuries.

          I'm reluctant to get on the escalator !!                                     It's now become easy to get on the escalator !!

Easy & Safe Escalator
 
 

Safety accidents frequently occur when using escalator due to lack of safety devices. The lighting on the footing provides visual instruction of the right timing to get on to allow children to safety board. The footstep lines also help the users to safely situate themselves after getting on the escalator.
