- 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;

Fire safety
Fire load
Easily ignited material or other objects must not be stored in the attic, cellar, under the building or in its immediate vicinity if that means that it causes a risk of a fire starting or spreading or if it makes extinguishing a fire more difficult.
Building | Type of fire load | Location |
---|---|---|
Amanaitta | Polttopuu | Puuvaja |
Rescue ladders
Windows or balconies located more than 3.5 metres from the ground must be used as an emergency escape route. A fixed ladder must be placed under the emergency escape route.
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:

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.

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:
Opastajat tulee lähettää pareittain risteyksiin opastamaan hälytysajoneuvoja. Opastajien tulee palata leiriin, kun apu on opastettu oikeaan suuntaan.
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.

In evacuation situations the gathering area is: Lassilan takana toiminta-alue
-siten että pelastustoimi ei esty
Back-up gathering area: Tarvittaessa pyritään suojautumaan muiden rakennusten tiloihin (säätä suojaan)
Action in the gathering area
-siten että pelastustoimi ei esty
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: Henrik Hellgren, phone 050 3041371
- Contact the emergency number if needed 112.
- Main water shutoff: Keittiörakennuksen tekninen tila
- Heat distribution room: Sähkölämmitys / maalämpöön perustuva lattialämmitys
- Electricity switchboard: Lassilan eteläpääty, ulkona.
- Should there be threat of water outside the building
-
- Inform property maintenance and, if needed, the emergency centre on 112.
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.
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. 050 3041371).
Electricity is down in both the operating premises and the public areas
- Use a flashlight
- Direct others, if so needed.
Eksyminen / katoaminen
- Varmistetaan ovatko myös kadonneen henkilön varusteet kadonneet.
- Tarkistettava onko muitakin kateissa.
- Missä ja milloin on kadonneesta tehty viimeinen varma havainto.
- Tarkistetaan lähiympäristö ja mahdolliset piilopaikat.
- Arvioidaan mihin kadonnut mahdollisesti pyrkii:
- Lähin bussipysäkki sijaitsee Hangontien varressa
- Lähimmät tiet ovat: Björnvikintie, joka kulkee leirikeskuksen pohjoispuolella. Alueen eteläpuolella on vain tilusteitä.
- Soitetaan kadonneen matkapuhelimeen (jos hänellä on sellainen).
- Suoritetaan nopea etsintä oletetulla katoamisalueella.
- Otetaan yhteyttä kadonneen kotiin ja selvitetään olemassa oleva tilanne.
- Samalla kysytään, onko kadonnut ollut mahdollisesti yhteydessä kotiinsa
Otetaan yhteys viranomaisiin sekä ilmoitetaan asiasta oman organisaation johtajalle.
Tapaturmat
On nimettävä valvoja rajujen leikkien ja pelien ajaksi. Pulkkamäeksi valitaan turvallinen ura ja valvotaan laskemista. Uinnin ajaksi nimetään yksi valvoja jokaista kahdeksaa uimaria kohden, valvojien on sijoittauduttava siten, että he näkevät uimarit esteettä.
Vesillä ollessa on aina varustauduttava pelastusliivein, sekä opastettava niiden oikeassa pukemisessa, lasten ollessa vesillä on vesillä olon ajaksi nimettävä valvoja, sekä mahdollinen turvavene.
Myrkylliset pesuaineet, maalit ja muut kemikaalit on sijoitettava omaan turvalliseen varastoon. Kaikkien aineiden käyttöturvallisuusohjeet on oltavakäyttäjien saatavissa. Vahvojen pesuaineiden ja kemikaalien käyttöä on opastettava ja valvottava. Opastetaan työkalujen ja koneiden käytössä, sekä korostetaan suojavarusteiden merkitystä, opetetaan ja valvotaan niiden käyttöä. Retken johtajan on tutustuttava SP:n leirien – ja retkien turvallisuusohjeeseen sekä selvitettävä pääkohdat niistä muille retken johtajille.
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, basement and storage area passages
-
- It is not permitted to store any items.
- Basement spaces
-
- Do not store easily flammable material.
- Storage of flammable liquids (e.g. liquefied gas and petrol) prohibited.
- 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

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.
Extinguishing blankets
- Take a hold of the corners of the blanket and protect your hands by placing them inside the blanket.
- Step on the blanket with your foot; this will prevent the flames from getting to your face.
- If you are outside, approach the fire from the direction of the wind.
- Extend your arms straight.
- Spread the blanket over the fire.
- Hold the blanket tightly over the fire and make sure that the fire is extinguished.
- Protect yourself while lifting the blanket as the fire can re-ignite.
- Make sure once more that the fire is extinguished.
Car heating cables
Car heating cables should be detached from the power outlet and the cable in the outlet should not be left hanging on the heating pole. The cover of the outlet box should also be kept locked.
An open outlet box and a freely hanging heating cable with voltage cause danger of an electric shock. If the plug-in unit falls into a puddle or snow, it may electrify the surrounding area. In addition, the heating cable may break and become a hazard while clearing snow in the area, for example. An open outlet box is susceptible to vandalism.
Users should be advised on the safe use and storage of the car heating cable. The housing organisation is responsible for the safety of the property, and if, for example, an external party is injured, the housing organisation will be held responsible. A car user who has incorrectly left the cable attached to the outlet is also responsible for their part for any possible damages.
When pre-heating a car, you should only use a heating cable suitable for the purpose and an interior space heater designed for cars. Using an extension cable should be avoided as extension cables are generally not child-proof and they are easily left on the ground, where they are subjected to water, dirt and snow. The connection cable and condition of the plugs should be checked at regular intervals.
If the car heating equipment is not used or their condition is not preserved, danger of an electric shock to the user or another person follows. It also poses a fire hazard.
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.
