|---|---|
| Coverage | Poistumisreitit ja uloskäynnit |
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: Paloilmoitinkeskuksella
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.
- The ambulance will be directed to: Sisäänkäynnille, jonne järjestetään opastaja auttajia vastaan.
Fire safety
Fire alarm
The purpose of the automatic fire alarm system is to warn people in the property about an imminent fire. The system detects fires quickly as sensors react to the fire and the alarm bells start ringing. The system will alert the emergency response centre automatically.
| Description | Automaattinen paloilmoitinjärjestelmä |

Securing the functionality of the notification transfer connection
- Periodic maintenance and malfunction repairs
- Monthly testing of the notification transfer connection
- Periodic inspections
Actions in the event of malfunction of the notification transfer connection
In the event that a malfunction is detected in the notification transfer connection, an enhanced surveillance is performed on the premises with the help of personnel.
- Connection to the emergency centre
- 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 size of a fire compartment is generally limited so that a fire starting in the compartment does not cause excessively large property damage.
| Building | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Alikeravantie 83 | Surface area compartmentalisation | Hallitilat jaettu palo-osastoihin. Osastoivat rakenteet yleensä EI60. |
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.
There are the following types of evacuation procedure in the property:
| Building | Evacuation procedures |
|---|---|
| Alikeravantie 83 | Lähintä merkattua poistumisreittiä pitkin. Henkilökunta opastaa ja avustaa vieraat ja asiakkaat ulos kiinteistöstä. Ulkona siirtyminen välittömästi kokoontumispaikalle. |
Kokoontumispaikka merkitty kyltillä
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.
The fire alarm system tender must take care of any deactivations needed so that the hot work or other refurbishment work does not cause an unnecessary fire alarm.
Any possible fire alarm system deactivations are to be fixed.
Evacuation procedures
- In an emergency situation, exiting will be led and directed by
- Henkilökunta toimitiloittain
- When and where to exit?
- Merkittyjä poistumisreittejä käyttäen ulos. Hallitiloista poistuminen suoraan ulos tai viereisten tilojen kautta. Parvelta hätätie ikkunoiden kautta pelastustikkaille, joilta pudottaudutaan alas pihalle.
- What has to be closed?
- Ovet suljetaan
- What has to be done and who does it before exiting?

Action guidelines
The following pages contain a guide on accident prevention and on how to act in accident and danger situations. Read the action guide carefully!
The correct actions, solutions, and choices prevent and limit accidents. This way accidents can be minimised or they can be prevented altogether.
Safety and security are our shared concern!
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.
In an emergency, the rescue department shall be guided as follows:

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. 0106225888).
Electricity is down in both the operating premises and the public areas
- Use a flashlight
- Direct others, if so needed.
Instructions for solar power station
In an emergency, the solar power station can be stopped in two ways:
Method A: Separation using the inverter's safety switch: The solar power station can be separated from the grid by turning the inverter's safety switch into the OFF position.
NOTE: This means that the solar panels and the cables from the solar power system to the main fuse box remain live!
Method B: Separation from the main fuse box: The solar power station can be separated from the building network by turning the switch fuse in the main fuse box into the OFF position.
NOTE: This means that the solar panels and internal cables in the property are still live, but will not feed into the property's main fuse box.
Electric vehicle fire
In an electric vehicle fire, extinguishing the burning batteries is difficult and requires a large amount of water. The generated gases are toxic, and breathing them should be avoided. An electric vehicle fire must always be reported immediately by calling the emergency number 112.
How to act in the case of an electric vehicle fire:
If an electric vehicle is burning or generating smoke, DO NOT start the initial firefighting. Instead:
- Save those in danger
- Summon help by calling 112
- Exit the danger zone
- Avoid breathing gases from the fire
- Warn others, and prevent them from entering the fire area
- Guide the rescue services to the site
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 | Location of equipment |
|---|---|---|
| Rakennuksen päädyssä, TIP Trailerin sosiaalitilat | S1 | Väestönsuojassa |
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.
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

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.
