Recently, a video on the Internet about "a man taking an escalator and turning around and the glass bursting" has attracted widespread attention.
In the video, a man is riding an escalator down to the bottom of a supermarket, and when he is about to turn around, his body accidentally touches the handrail, and then the glass under the escalator handrail suddenly cracks in a large area. The sudden incident not only panicked the man concerned, but also raised public concerns about public safety.
First, the course of the incident
After the incident, the supermarket believed that the glass explosion was man-made damage and demanded 8,300 yuan in compensation from the man.
The man involved insisted that there was a problem with the quality of the elevator itself and that he should not be liable for compensation.
Faced with this dispute, the Administration for Market Regulation quickly intervened in the investigation. According to the relevant staff of the bureau, if there are potential safety hazards in the supermarket elevators involved, they will verify and deal with them ex officio.
2. Analysis of the causes of glass explosion
For this incident, we need to think deeply about what is the cause of the glass explosion, is it the quality of the elevator itself, or is it caused by the accidental touch of the man involved? Both of these situations are possible, but they also need to be further investigated and verified.
1. Elevator quality problems
If there is a quality problem with the elevator itself, then there may be problems during the operation of the escalator, causing the glass to burst.
In this case, the supermarket side should bear the corresponding responsibility, because they are the provider and manager of the escalator.
They should carry out regular inspection and maintenance of the elevator to ensure the safe operation of the escalator. In addition, they also need to investigate the elevator manufacturer to ensure that the quality of the escalators purchased meets national standards and industry standards.
2. The man involved misbehaved
On the other hand, if the glass burst was caused by the man involved accidentally touching it, then he should be held liable for his own negligence.
In this case, the man is responsible for the cost of compensating for the damage to the elevator, as well as other consequences caused by his misconduct.
For example, he may be liable for property damage or bodily injury to other passengers.
Third, the lack of safety supervision of public facilities
The incident also exposed the inadequacy of safety supervision of public facilities.
As a public place, commercial buildings such as supermarkets should regularly inspect and maintain elevators, fire protection and other facilities to ensure their normal operation and safe use.
At the same time, the relevant government departments should also strengthen the supervision of the safety management of public facilities, formulate strict safety standards and supervision mechanisms, and ensure that the safety of citizens is not threatened.
Fourth, the public's safety awareness
In public places, citizens should always be vigilant and pay attention to their own safety.
When using escalators and other facilities, you should comply with the relevant regulations and avoid dangerous movements.
For example, don't lean on the escalator handrail when not in use, don't go in the wrong direction, and so on.
In addition, citizens can also reduce safety risks by self-protection, such as wearing soft-soled shoes, using escalator handrails, etc.
5. The importance of raising awareness of public safety
Finally, this incident is also a reminder of the importance of raising public safety awareness to prevent similar incidents from happening.
Each of us is a user of public spaces and a responsible person for public safety.
We should improve the personal safety of ourselves and others by protecting ourselves, paying attention to the safety of public facilities, and participating in the construction of community safety.
At the same time, we should also attach importance to public safety education as an important part of quality education, so that children can cultivate good public safety Xi and a healthy lifestyle from an early age.
Finally, the incident of "a man taking an escalator and turning around, and the glass bursting" requires us to think deeply about the safety of public facilities, the supervision mechanism, and the moral and legal responsibilities of citizens.
Only in this way can we find the root cause of the problem, take scientific, reasonable and efficient measures to prevent and reduce the occurrence of similar incidents, ensure the personal safety and property safety of every citizen, and jointly create a safe, harmonious and beautiful social environment and homeland.
