Abstract

The vast majority of children aged 2-12 in China seldom have safety consciousness. They are lack of the risk prevention knowledge. The children shouldn't be allowed to take the elevator alone. However, in the real life, the young children are very interested in taking elevators as a kind of game. Few people or educational organizations pay close attention to the study of the elevator safety warning system, especially the warning pictures, which are taken as a very efficient way to prevent the potential risks. In this article, China's elevator safety publicity system and the different elevator manufacturers' designs are introduced. Because of the public utilities, the concept to carry out uniform standards in elevator safety warning is proposed. Propaganda target, picture warning content, warning way, and intensity of color are defined. To enact a consistent standard, the principles of scientific elevator safety warning pictures' system, combination of universality and particularity and color and pattern and text should be followed.
