Introduction
The drafting, upkeep and communication of the rescue plan are based on the requirement of the Rescue Act (379/2011). In this rescue plan, there is an account:
- for the conclusions of the assessment of hazards and risks;
- for the safety arrangements of the building and the premises used in the operations;
- regarding the instructions to be given to people for the prevention of accidents and acting in accident and danger situations;
- other possible actions for independent preparation at the location. (Rescue Act 379/2011, Section 15))
The rescue plan must be kept up to date and it must be communicated in the necessary way to the persons in the relevant building or other site. (Government Decree on Rescue Action 407/2011, Section 2.)
There are also other requirements for safety in the Rescue Act; the most important of these are:
The owner and holder of the building and the operator must, for their part take care that the building, structure and its surroundings are kept in such condition that:
- the risk of the starting, intentional starting and spreading of a fire is slight;
- the people in the building can vacate the building in the event of fire or other sudden danger situation or they can be rescued in another way;
- rescue operations are possible in the event of fire or another accident;
- the safety of rescue personnel has been taken into account. (Rescue Act 379/2011, Section 9))
The following equipment and devices must be kept in working order and serviced and inspected appropriately:
- extinguishing, rescue and prevention equipment;
- devices that facilitate extinguishing and rescue work;
- fire detection, alarm and other devices signalling the risk of an accident;
- the lighting and signs of the exit routes;
- the equipment and devices of the civil defence shelters (Rescue Act 379/2011, Section 12))
The owner and holder of the building and the operator must, for their part:
- the starting of fires is to be prevented, as well as the arising of other hazardous situations;
- the protection of persons, property and the surroundings in danger situations is to be prepared for;
- the extinguishing of fires, and other such rescue measures that they are able to do independently, are to be prepared for;
- start action for securing safe exit from fires and other danger situations, as well as action for making rescue operations easier. (Rescue Act 379/2011, Section 14))

Safety equipment
Smoke extraction
The purpose of smoke ventilation is to remove fire gases, smoke and heat from the premises. The smoke ventilation equipment must be maintained and tested regularly according to the user maintenance instructions. The smoke ventilation equipment may only be used by the rescue services.

Ventilation emergency stop
If the building is subjected to an external danger, such as fire gases from an adjacent building, the ventilation must be shut off. In such a case, the rescue authorities usually issue an emergency warning, providing additional instructions, such as to turn off ventilation systems.
Air ventilation can be stopped by anyone.
Ventilation emergency stop: 1.krs Pääsisäänkäynti, eteinen
First aid
According to the Occupational Safety and Health Act (738/2002) 46 §, the employer is obligated to ensure the availability of first aid to employees and other personnel at the work place, to provide directions for getting first aid, as well as reserve enough first aid supplies at the work place or in its close proximity.

Fire safety
Smoke detector
The purpose of fire alarms is to alert of any imminent fire. This will enable measures to extinguish the fire, warn others and take rescue measures.
| Location | Porraskäytävät |
|---|---|
| System model | Battery-operated |
| Type of alarm | Localised alarm |
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.
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.
| Location | Kiinteistön pihatie |
|---|
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.
Hot work
Hot work is defined as work in which sparks arise or in which naked flames or other heat sources are used and may cause a fire hazard. Such work includes e.g. oxyacetylene and arc welding, flame and arc cutting, disc cutting and metal grinding, which create sparks, as well as work involving the use of gas burners, other open fire or combustion air blowers. Alternative methods must always be considered for hot work due to the fire hazard it presents.
Carrying out hot work always requires a hot work licence. The person carrying out the hot work must have a valid hot work card.

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.
Sudden illness or accident
- Clarify and check
-
- What has happened?
- Check the person's condition (do they wake up, are they breathing?)
- Give first aid if needed.
-
- Turn an unconscious but breathing patient into the recovery position on their side.
- If the person is not breathing, start with first aid.
- Make an emergency call.
-

In evacuation situations the gathering area is: Parkkialue, A-talon päädyssä
Back-up gathering area: Taivaanpankontie 8, parkkihalli
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.

Under threat of violence
In an unarmed threatening situation, act in the following way.
- Act calmly and try to calm the person with your behaviour.
- Make sure you do not turn your back or let yourself be cornered, so that you will always have an escape route when a threatening person comes close.
- Call for help depending on the circumstances.
- Escape and help others escape.
Take care of your own safety. Seek to direct the threatening person to a place where they cannot harm others. After the event, contact the police about the incident if required.
If the threatening person is armed, act in the following way.
- Do not resist.
- Do whatever the person threatening you tells you to do.
- As the situation permits, try to warn others.
- By closing doors, you can limit a person's movement within the property.
- After the situation, call 112 to get professional help on site as fast as possible. Listen to directions and act accordingly.
Every threat and sighting of a possibly threatening situation must be taken seriously and the police must be informed immediately. Through your own behaviour, you can affect the progress of the situation, and thus you should take all threatening situations seriously and try to calm down already begun situations.
Bomb threat
A bomb threat is often unfounded and made by a disturbed individual, but it should always be taken seriously, and each threat should be notified to the police. In this situation, it is important to keep calm.
When the threat is made by phone
- Remain calm. Prolong the call.
- Make notes. Write the threat down word-for-word.
-
Ask questions.
- Where is the bomb?
- What does the bomb look like?
- When will the bomb explode?
- Why?
- Try to get your colleague's attention already during the phone call, so that he/she can inform the person responsible for safety during the call.
-
Pay attention to the caller's speaking style and tone of voice.
- Does he/she use noticeable dialect or other special characteristics?
- Is he/she agitated?
- Is he/she reading the message from a piece of paper?
- Listen to the background noises as well (e.g. traffic or discussions in the background).
- After the call, notify the safety and security personnel on your premises or property (cf. chapter of safety and security personnel).
- If this is not possible, call the police immediately at 112 and act according to their instructions.
A suspicious object or threatening letter
- Do not touch the object.
- If the item in question is a letter or other such object that you have handled, pay attention to the places you have touched and place the letter in a plastic pocket, for example.
- Notify immediately the personnel responsible for safety and security on your premises and the property (cf. chapter on safety and security personnel) as well as the police at emergency number 112.
- Isolate the area as well as possible. Keep in mind possible police investigations (fingerprints and footprints are first-class evidence).
- Do not panic. Act according to the instructions from the police and the safety personnel.
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.
Gas hazard
- Public warning signal in danger situations concerning gas
- Do the following
- If you are indoors and can smell gas:
- stay inside, get to the top floors and listen for further information on the radio
- place a wet cloth over your mouth and breathe through it
- If you are outside when you smell gas but are not able to get indoors:
- hurry into side wind from underneath the gas cloud
- try to get as high as possible, for example to the top of a hill
- Additional information on taking cover from gas
-
- Switch off air conditioning devices and close doors and windows tightly.
- You can also close or tape inside doors and stay in upwind areas.
- If you smell gas you can breathe through a moist and spongy cloth.
- The authorities will announce on radio or with vehicles with loudspeakers when the gas cloud has dispersed. Ventilate indoors well after the event.
Säteilyvaara
Säteilytilannetta valvotaan jatkuvasti koko maassa mittareilla. Pienetkin muutokset huomataan heti ja niistä tiedotetaan viipymättä. Säteilyvaarasta annetaan yleinen vaaramerkki.
Mene sisälle
Sisälle suojautuminen on säteilyvaaratilanteessa ensisijainen suojelutoimenpide.
Sulje tiiviisti ovet, ikkunat, tuuletusaukot ja ilmanvaihto, jotta radioaktiiviset aineet eivät pääsisi sisään. Talon keskiosissa on paras suoja.
Joditabletit
Joditablettien ottaminen on toissijainen tukitoimi, jota suositellaan enintään 40-vuotiaille ja raskaana oleville tai imettäville.
Ota joditabletti vasta viranomaisten kehotuksesta, jonka kuulet radiosta tai televisiosta. Joditabletit ehkäisevät radioaktiivisen jodin kertymistä kilpirauhaseen, mutta eivät anna muuta suojaa. Tabletteja ei pidä lähteä vaaratilanteessa noutamaan rakennuksen ulkopuolelta. Jodeja voi hankkia etukäteen apteekista. Joditabletteja tulisi olla 2 per henkilö. Sosiaali- ja terveysministeriö suosittelee joditablettien ottamista ydinonnettomuudesta johtuvissa säteilyvaaratilanteissa enintään 40-vuotiaille ja raskaana oleville tai imettäville..
Suojaa ruokasi ja juomavesi
Laita esillä olevat elintarvikkeet muovipusseihin tai tiiviisiin astioihin. Jääkaappi, pakastin ja tiiviit pakkaukset suojaavat radioaktiiviselta pölyltä.
Ulkona liikkuminen
Jos on pakko mennä ulos, käytä tiivistä, ihon peittävää asua, esimerkiksi sadevaatteita. Riisu vaatteet sisälle tullessasi eteiseen ja peseydy huolella. Käytä hengityssuojainta, pyyhettä tai talouspaperia estämään radioaktiivisten hiukkasten pääsy keuhkoihin.
Lisäohjeet
Lisäohjeita saat kaupunkisi pelastusviranomaisilta, tiedotusvälineistä sekä Yleisradion teksti-TV:n sivulta 867. Tietoa saat myös Säteilyturvakeskuksen Internet-sivuilta osoitteesta www.stuk.fi ja pelastustoimen sivuilta www.pelastustoimi.fi.
Blackouts
Action during a power cut
Electricity is down in the operating premises, but the lights of public areas are still working
- If possible, check the fuses in the operating premises' own electrical switchboard.
- If the problem was not solved, contact property maintenance (tel. 0447655).
Electricity is down in both the operating premises and the public areas
- Use a flashlight
- Direct others, if so needed.
Civil defence
The purpose of the civil defence shelter is to protect people from collapses, explosion pressure waves and fragments, gases, radiation and fire. This property has a civil defence shelter. It is recommended that a civil defence shelter have an elected manager and deputy. It is good for the property's shelter's manager to learn how to use the equipment and how to prepare the shelter for use.
This property has a civil defence shelter:
| Location | Protection grade | Surface area | Defence shelter places | Location of equipment |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1.krs | S1 | 99 m² | 132 | Väestönsuoja |
The civil defence shelter is in class S1. The civil defence shelter in protection class S1 is a newer shelter, built after 1971. It is possible to stay in this shelter model for long time periods. The shelter has a manually operated or mechanical air intake machinery, equipped with a pre-filter and an activated carbon particle filter.
The authorities provide instructions by radio if it is necessary to move to civil defence shelters and information on which of the public shelters people are to move to. Moving into the civil defence shelters therefore always happens as a result of direction by the authorities. Accidents occurring in normal times do not generally ever require taking cover in civil defence shelters, with taking cover indoors being sufficient. There are 110,000 spaces altogether in the civil defence shelters of Finland.
Safeguard evasion
Safeguard evasion means controlled relocations of members of the population from a danger zone in a situation where this is considered less risky than taking cover indoors. Such situations are for example fast-developing dangerous substance accidents, extensive harm caused by exhaust fumes, danger of explosion, and radiation situations.
Safeguard evasion is always done on a special order from the authorities. The authorities have planned in advance to perform a safeguard evasion from the area and reserved the necessary transportation equipment for it.
Storing movables
Storage of different kinds of objects may lead to a hazard of fire starting or spreading, the prevention of safe exit in an emergency situation and increased difficulty in extinguishing the fire.
The building's exit hallways and staircase areas must be kept walkable and clear of any obstacles.
- Exit corridors, staircases, inside hallways, and storage area passages
-
- It is not permitted to store any items.
- Under or near buildings
-
- It is not permitted to store flammable material or other goods by the walls of the building, e.g. garbage containers, piles of cardboard, or transportation trays
- Attention!
-
- The rescue authorities can permit single case exceptions, for example for storing a larger amount or allowing storage in a different place or limit storing, if safety requires that
Attachments
This rescue plan has the following attachments:
How to use a small fire extinguisher
Extinguishers
- Turn the extinguisher upside down and shake the extinguisher to ensure the powder's running.
- Remove the safety pin.
- Approach the fire from the direction of the wind.
- If you are indoors, approach low on the floor, as this will improve the visibility.
- Take a hold of the extinguisher's hose from the end and direct the extinguishing substance at the base of the flames, don't cut through them.
- Start extinguishing from the front and continue towards the back, or from bottom to top.
- Extinguishing can be improved with a back and forth motion.
- The whole area that is burning must be covered in the extinguisher cloud.
- After the flames are extinguished the extinguishing can be stopped.
- Observer the burnt object and make sure that the fire is out.
- If the target catches fire again, repeat the extinguishing.
Fire hydrant
- Open the fire hydrant cabinet. If necessary, break the plastic covering of the lockguard by, for example, hitting it with your elbow.
- Open the stopcock and pull out as much hose as you need.
- Turn on the nozzle at the end of the hose and begin extinguishing from a safe distance.
- Direct the water jet at the base of the flames and continue until the fire has been extinguished.
- Make sure the fire has been put out. Suffocate or wet all possibly still- smouldering spots.
Do not put yourself in danger. Avoid breathing smoke. If the extinguishing is not succeeding, move to safety. Close the door to the space to limit the fire.
Key security
A log must be maintained of released keys and it is important to make sure they are returned when the person's work or residential contract ends.
Keys are released based on need upon signing them out. The keys must remain continuously under control of the person who signed them off. Any key or access tag in your name is not to be given to a third party in any circumstances.
