英国BBC新闻报道，通过使用标语和语音提示，英国铁路网（Network Rail，NR）加强了英国雷丁火车站内自动扶梯的安全性，对站内的电梯进行更新升级，并再安装17台自动扶梯。自2013年4月1日到2015年7月6日，已有约140人次在搭乘电梯时受伤。英国铁路已经在电梯上附明“握紧扶手”的标志，并且准备增装语音提示系统。在这些伤人事故中，英国铁路注意到所有的事件都是因为人为使用不当引起的，而不是设备故障。

　　ESCALATOR SAFETY STEPPED UP AT READING, U.K., STATION

　　Network Rail has stepped up escalator safety with visual and audio messages at its Reading, U.K., station as part of an upgrade that included installation of 17 additional escalators, BBC News reports. Noting that approximately 140 people suffered injuries on the units from April 1, 2013-July 6, 2015, the rail operator installed “hold the handrail” signs and is testing an audio-message system. Network Rail noted no incidents were caused by faulty equipment, but rather by user error.
