Covid-19 (Coronavirus)
COVID-19 Ready
Evolution Elevator & Escalator Corp. has been diligent in preparing, and we are open for business. We stand ready to assist you in servicing your customers without disruption. We understand that you will need your vertical transportation to properly support your business and your clients – and as Essential Workers, we will be here every day.
We are Prepared
In order to prevent the introduction and potential spread of illness to our Field Technicians, we have taken the following precautionary measures:
- Implement Social Distancing Procedures where possible
- Issued our Field Technicians N95 Respirators
- Providing Full Face Shields for Additional Protection
- Providing Safety Glasses and Goggles
- Providing Hand Sanitizer and access to Soap and Water
- Providing Technicians with proper Cleaning Supplies and Cleaners to properly disinfect the Work Area, Tools, and Equipment
Emergency Rapid Response Program
We have put into place an Emergency Rapid Response Program to respond to all Emergency Service Calls for our current and potential customers whether your vertical transportation is under contract with us or not. This program will remain in place unless restricted by the local government. It includes:
Facility Managers
- Clean and disinfect all elevator buttons and other frequently touched surfaces periodically throughout the day.
- Post signage letting riders know that all high-touch surfaces are being cleaned on a regular basis to help keep them safe.
- Post signage asking riders to avoid overcrowded elevators and to practice social distancing.
- Provide sanitizing wipes and/or hand sanitizer near elevators and escalator.
- Stay safe in your home, workplace, and commercial environments by following tips from the center for disease control (CDC).
Riding in Public
- Hold the handrail when riding an escalator, and remember to wash your hands or use hand sanitizer soon after.
- Practice social distancing in an elevator or on an escalator. If the elevator is crowded, wait for the next one.
- Follow all general hygiene tips, such as coughing into your elbows and not your hands.
- Do not walk up/down a stopped escalator. Look for equipment that is in service or your nearest stairs.
- Stay safe in your home, workplace, and commercial environments by following tips from the center for disease control.
Covid-19 Clean Down Packages
For your convenience, we have created a COVID-19 Clean Down Package for Elevators and Escalators that include:
- Complete Cleaning of Elevator, Pit, Car Top, Hoistway, and Cabs using approved Disinfectants and Sanitizers
- Complete Cleaning of Escalator Handrails, Removal of Escalator Steps, Cleaning of the Interior of the Escalator, Cleaning of Glass, Start/Stop Buttons, and other exposed services using approved Disinfectants and Sanitizers.
In light of the spread of COVID-19, governments are instituting guidelines that reduce viral transmissions, including washing hands thoroughly and frequently. One of the most touched surfaces in your building is your elevator push buttons. By reducing these contact points in your facility, you can help reduce these viral transmissions.
Our Holographic Call Stations can be installed inside and outside your existing elevator push button stations without upgrading your existing elevator. These Holographic Call Stations are optimized for enabling contactless interaction with an invisible sheet of light that detects user inputs and activates the desired elevator button. This eliminates physical contact between the user and the surface and reduces the risk of viral transmissions. The Holographic Call Stations are custom designable and can match the look of your building's style and corporate branding.
LED UV-C
The most frequently touched surface in your facility is most like the escalator handrails. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, sterilization of these handrails is a major priority to your facility. Most cleaners used to disinfect are not meant for escalator handrails as they will absorb into the handrail, causing interior and exterior cracks, shrinkage, and premature failures. This will also cause many unnecessary shutdowns due to the handrail stalling. Evolution Elevator & Escalator Corp. offers Escalator Handrail UV Sterilization devices. These devices are installed internally in the escalator to prevent possible passenger entrapments. These units emit UV-C wavelengths to sanitize the handrail surface effectively.
