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
Sprinkler equipment
The sprinkler system is an automatic fire extinguishing system which starts extinguishing a fire by spraying water at the location of the fire and, at the same time, passes on a fire alert to the emergency centre. The functioning of the equipment is based on the principle that when the temperature exceeds a certain level, the capsule of the sprinkler breaks and water is released to flow through the sprinkler.
The sprinkler equipment is maintained according to the maintenance plan. The equipment is tested monthly and inspected every other year.
Sprinkler equipment service
The sprinkler system must always be assigned a nominated person or company, who will service the equipment in accordance with maintenance instructions. Persons carrying out servicing must have the appropriate expertise and information required for the servicing.
Maintenance work that is comparable in technical complexity to the installation of new equipment may only be carried out by a shop specialised in the installation and maintenance of sprinkler equipment and listed by the Finnish Safety and Chemicals Agency. The person responsible for ordering maintenance must be named if maintenance is obtained as a purchased service. There must be a written contract for the purchased maintenance service.

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.

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 floors, basement floors and attic of the building are generally divided into separate fire compartments.
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)
Dry risers
A dry rise is an empty pipe fitted permanently into the property used by rescue services to get extinguishing water from the street level, for example, to the building's roof.
Location | Porraskäytävä |
---|
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.
Hot work licences can be granted by the following people responsible for hot work:
Jani SaariCaverion
phone 0504766942
jani.saari1@caverion.com
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.
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:
Pääovelle
Sudden illness or accident

Capture in a shoplifting/theft situation.
When you detect a theft, get further help immediately if possible, and notify the security (tel. 0204912600).
- Do not speak to the person inside the shop, but follow them with your eyes.
- Shoplifting/theft has not happened before the suspect has passed the checkout counters without paying for the product.
- Address the person after they have passed the checkout counters, but do not accuse them of anything and remain calm.
- Provocation may lead to conflict. Do not make threats, false promises or call the person a "thief", for example. Remember to keep a safe distance.
- Do not let the person leave or throw the item away, but ask them to step aside to clarify the matter.
- Observe especially the place (pocket, bag, etc.) where the person has put the stolen item. When you take the person aside, it is easier to observe him/her and other business can continue with no disturbances. Remember your own safety!
-
In the event that a security person cannot attend to the matter, report the matter immediately to the police by calling 112.
- According to legislation, those who have been caught in the act of shoplifting must be immediately turned over to the police.
- Each shoplifting (shoplifting, theft) must be reported to security (tel.0204912600).
The person shall receive a fine for shoplifting/theft (penalty) or the matter shall be processed in court (theft). In the event that the stolen item is not retrieved in original condition, or other property has been damaged, a demand for compensation can be made (the police will inquire these issues from you). When recording these demands, the police will also want to know where the person took the item, where he/she put it (whether he/she detached possible alarm devices etc.) and where the person was caught. The witnesses and possible camera recordings should also be mentioned when turning over the suspect.
Robbery
The situation is a robbery if the person uses violence or threatens with violence in order to take your possessions. The robbery may also be armed (knife, gun, etc.)
During robbery
- Remain calm, obey the robber
- Panicking or resistance may escalate into violence. Also remember the safety of others present.
- Act with delay. Provide the robber with products or money in order of value — from the smallest to the biggest. Also include recognisable products or marked banknotes.
- Delaying gives time for help to arrive and for catching the robber on location. In the event that the robber is interrupted, the loot shall remain small. Recognisability will help track the robber in the event that he/she is not immediately caught.
- Remember the robber's characteristics, style of speech and direction of escape.
- When you act calmly, these issues are easier to remember after the situation. Eye-witnesses shall also be interviewed for their observations.
After the robbery
- In the event that you have not yet called for help, notify security immediately (tel. 0204912600).
- Close the shop, do not let new people enter, ask witnesses to remain on location if possible.
- In the event that eye-witnesses wish to leave, ask for their contact information. You can give eye-witnesses pen and paper and ask them to write down the robber's characteristics. This will stop them from talking with each other and calms them down.
- Estimate the value of the loot. Tell the police all the information you have when they arrive and act according to their instructions.
- Remember that without permission by the police, you are not allowed to give statements to the press etc. Your supervisor will make the decision to inform other parties.
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: Caverion Oy, phone 0504766942, service 0800157777
- Contact the emergency number if needed 112.
- Main water shutoff: Autohalli, lämmönjakohuone
- Heat distribution room: Autohalli
- Electricity switchboard: Autohalli
- 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.
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.
-

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 2 civil defence shelters. 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 2 civil defence shelters:
Location | Protection grade | Location of equipment |
---|---|---|
016-tila, kellarikerros | S1 | |
019-tila, kellarikerros | S1 |
Two of the civil defence shelters 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.
