SCHINDLER INDIA INTENSIFIES SAFETY, CLEANING DURING CRISIS

Schindler India is implementing enhanced elevator and escalator safety measures and cleaning in response to the coronavirus pandemic, India Education Diary reports. Except for an on-ground emergency team available 24/7 to aid in entrapments and breakdowns, the entire workforce is working from home. Emergency team members are equipped with safety suits, latex gloves, masks, safety glasses, wipes and sanitizers. The company has added additional manpower to thoroughly clean high-contact services such as elevator floors, buttons and doors. Elevator buttons, escalator handrails and other frequently used areas are disinfected every hour, and protective film is placed over buttons every hour. Elevator walls and floors are cleaned twice a day. For elevators, Schindler India has enabled its destination-control PORT technology and states the myPORT app enables users to call elevators and open elevator doors from their phones.
