• An on-call person to supervise the fire alarm centre
• An on-call person makes the emergency notification if needed and guides the rescue department to the site of fire

Fire compartmentalisation

The purpose of fire compartmentalisation is to limit the spread of smoke and fire and to secure safe exiting. For this reason, it is very important that the fire doors are kept closed. Fire doors must not be wedged open.

The floors, basement floors and attic of the building are generally divided into separate fire compartments.

The size of a fire compartment is generally limited so that a fire starting in the compartment does not cause excessively large property damage.

Spaces which differ from each other fundamentally in terms of usage or fire load are divided up into separate fire compartments, if it is necessary for the protection of property or personnel. (usage way compartmentalisation)

Rescue route

The rescue way is a drive way, which the rescue department's vehicles can use in emergency situations to reach to within close proximity of the building.

• It is not permitted to park cars, pile up snow, set up lampposts, plant vegetation, or do, leave, or set up anything else that might block traffic on the rescue way.
• Escape routes must be indicated with a text sign in accordance with Ministry of the Interior decree no. 468 of 2003.
• A rescue way sign is not used if the rescue way is not marked in the building's construction permits.
• Please contact rescue authorities for advice on any escape route questions.

Rescue route

Location	Kiinteistön pihatiet

Emergency exit routes

The principle of exit safety is that all spaces of the building must haveat least two exit routes at all times which do not require keys or othertools to open the doors. Doors are not to be kept double-locked during working hours. Objects are not to be stored in front of the exits.

Prevention of afterdamage

The objective of the prevention of afterdamage is to prevent damage arising, limit and minimise the effects of any damage that has arisen, and to restore the situation to its previous state as quickly as possible.

Alerting help

In all urgent emergency situations, whether it be a police, fire department, paramedic, or a social worker case involving an urgent need for help CALL THE EMERGENCY NUMBER: 112

Call the emergency number yourself if you can

It is important to make the emergency call yourself, if the matter concerns you. The victim has more knowledge on the situation, based on which the dispatcher can send help accordingly. Using middle-men to make the call can delay getting the right kind of help on site.

Tell what happened

The emergency centre dispatcher will ask the caller about what happened so that they can send the appropriate assistance.

Give the exact address and municipality

The emergency centre might have several same addresses in different municipalities/cities in its service area. Therefore it is also important to know the name of the town/city/municipality where the accident has taken place.

Answer the questions that are asked of you

The questions asked by the dispatcher are important. They do not delay alarming for help. In urgent cases the dispatcher already alerts the authorities and other partners during the call, and gives them more information on what has happened.

Act according to the information given to you

The dispatcher is trained to give instructions in various types of situations. It is important to follow the given instructions. Correct initial actions often play an important role in the end result.

End the call only after you're given permission to do so.

Ending the call too soon may delay the help from arriving. After you are given the permission to end the call, end it. Keep the phone line open. The dispatcher or the help on its way may need additional information on what has happened.

Fire

Save and warn

• Rescue those in immediate danger and warn others.
• Direct people to the gathering area.

Extinguish and contain

• Try initial extinguishing and avoid smoke. Do not put yourself in danger.
• Contain the spreading of the fire and smoke by closing the windows and doors that lead into the fire area.

Alert

• Use the fire alarm button to alert the fire department and to warn others with fire bells.
• After getting to a safe location, call the number 112 (also after using the fire alarm button).
• Say where you are calling from, where the fire is (address and floor) and if there are people in danger.
• Do not hang up the phone until you are given permission to do so.

Guide

• Direct the rescue personnel to the location.

Using the lift in the event of a fire is strictly forbidden!

In evacuation situations the gathering area is: Kokoontumispaikat merkitty aluekarttaan. Merkitty opastein kokoontumispaikoilla.

Fire action guide, when safe exits are blocked

Sometimes a fire in another location prevents safe exit from the building. In these cases it is smartest to stay in a smokeless space and keep all doors and other openings closed.

Stay in the fire compartment that you are in.

• It is safe to stay behind the fire door. Fire doors withstand fire for at least half an hour.
• Jumping from a height has fatal consequences, reamining in a smoke-free area does not.

Go to a window and attract attention. If you do not manage to do this, let people know your location by calling 112.

Follow directions from the authorities.

Action in a fire alarm situation

The building has an automatic fire alarm system, which sends an alert to the rescue department. Everyone must vacate the building immediately when they hear the fire alarm.

• Bring outdoor clothes with you if they are nearby.
• Close doors and windows
• Use the nearest escape route to exit the building.
• Direct customers and guests.
• Call the number 112 from a safe location and provide further information about the situation. At the same time, you will make sure that the emergency center has been notified about the fire.
• Move to the gathering area; do not stay in front of the entrances.
• No-one may leave the gathering area without permission.

The danger is only over when the rescue department gives permission to return to the building. The safety personnel of the property passes on the announcement concerning moving back inside to the personnel.

Action in the gathering area

When people have left the building and proceeded to the gathering area, the representative of the personnel begins to direct activities. Based on the situation at hand, it is necessary to consider whether it is safe to remain in the designated gathering area or if people should be directed elsewhere, for example into a pre-arranged interior area or to a property in the vicinity.

No-one may leave the gathering area without the permission of the person responsible for the gathering area. Activity in the gathering area is directed by the building's safety personnel. The safety personnel give information on the progress of the situation and notify when it is permitted to return into the property.

Factors to bear in mind in the gathering area:

• Taking care of anyone who may be injured; the safety personnel are to be informed
• looking after people with reduced mobility or otherwise poor physical condition
• if one is aware of someone having remained inside, this is to be reported

Back-up gathering area

If the gathering area is not safe, then people are to move on to a safe back-up gathering area defined separately by the protection managers. Authorities will also provide instructions about shelter locations for long-term shelter.

Assisting people with reduced mobility in emergency situations

In an emergency situation, the movement of people with reduced mobility out of the building may be difficult and slow. Try to help them as much as you are able to.

Things to consider when helping people with reduced mobility

• Help a person with reduced mobility to exit, within the limits of your own capabilities.
• Take care of the person you helped also after getting out.

Water damage

Action guide

• Disconnect power from where the leak is and from its proximity.
• Stop the water from flowing, from i.e. the water mains, if possible.
• Notify of the situation immediately:
  • to the maintenance personnel: ISS Palvelut Oy, phone 0200 15500, service 0200 15500
• Contact the emergency number if needed 112.
• Main water shutoff: Viestikatu 1-3, B-osa, ovi B149, Viestikatu 3, E-osa, ovi E066. Viestikatu 5 tilanumero 105
• Heat distribution room: Viestikatu 1-3, B-osa, ovi B149, Viestikatu 3, E-osa, ovi E066.
• Electricity switchboard: Viestikatu 1-3, A-osa, ovi A141, Viestikatu 3, E-osa, ovi E065. Viestikatu 5 tilanumero 106

Should there be threat of water outside the building

• Inform property maintenance and, if needed, the emergency centre on 112.

Public warning signal

The public warning signal is a one-minute-long ascending and descending tone or a warning announcement by the authorities. The length of the ascending tone is 7 seconds. The public warning signal means an immediate danger threatening the public.

The All Clear signal is a one-minute-long monotonous signal. It is an announcement of the threat or danger having passed.

Act in the following way after you've heard the public warning signal

• Proceed indoors. Close doors, windows, ventilation holes, and air conditioning devices.
• Turn on the radio and wait for instructions.
• Avoid using the phone to prevent telephone lines from getting jammed.
• Do not leave the area unless urged to do so by the authorities.

Natural gas

Using natural gas is safe. Hazardous situations are caused when natural gas leaks into a closed space from the pipes or the gas device. Preventing gas leaks is extremely important for maintaining operational safety.

Another hazardous factor in using gas is the carbon monoxide resulting from imperfect burning. This must be taken into consideration, especially in spaces where there is no ventilation of the combustion gases. Correct installation as well as gas devices meant and approved for natural gas, along with their proper use and maintenance, guarantee the safe use of natural gas.

An odour is artificially added to natural gas to increase its user safety. For certain purposes (huge expenditure, odours in the environment, process requirements) the gas may be odourless. A natural gas leak is easy to detect because of the smell.

If the facility uses odourless natural gas, there must be fixed detection devices to monitor possible gas leaks and they must also be maintained frequently.

The simplest gas detectors only tell if the location has gas or not. If the detector also contains a gauge, it usually tells the relative content from the lower ignition point. In these cases, you must verify that the gauge is calibrated for the gas it is intended to measure. If the gas leak detector also contains an alarm, it is usually set to a level which is 1/5 of the lower ignition point. A larger leak can be noticed from the louder sound or rippling of the air above the leak.

What to do after detecting a natural gas leak

• If you detect a natural gas leak based on either the smell or the detector, report the incident to the person responsible.
• If the natural gas leak is detected from the pipes (sound, soil flying around); report it to the public emergency number and the owner of the pipeline.
• The owner of the pipeline and emergency numbers are found from information boards on the pipeline.
• When reporting the incident, you should also give the number of the sign on the information board, close to which the leak has been detected.

Actions in emergency situations

A gas leak indoors means an immediate danger of explosion, hence the most important task is to prevent the gas from igniting. Ignition and spark sources must be removed, the space ventilated, and people moved to safety from the danger zone. Simultaneously with the aforementioned actions, you must start limiting the gas leak by closing the main valve or similar valves.

Depending on the situation, either the person monitoring the system or the general emergency office should be informed of the situation without delay. To successfully deal with these emergency situations, the facility must have an emergency action guide. How to perform in emergency situations should be practised frequently.
