  1. Contact the dispatcher. This is the most obvious thing you can do. In modern elevators, such a button is added in the most visible place.
  2. Call for help. If the button doesn't work, shout loudly.
  3. Observe safety precautions. Never try to get out of the elevator on your own. Do not jump or make sudden movements.
  4. Stay calm. If you are tired of standing, sit on the floor.
  5. Wait for the team to arrive. This usually happens within 30 minutes.
