Safety procedures

Safety at premises

Access control

The property has a physical access control system in use. This system aims to prevent unauthorised people from entering the premises. In the event that you detect a flaw in terms of the access control system, make a report.

Access control
Location Säterinportti, Sitowise Oy
Description

Tunnistamme omissa tiloissamme liikkuvat sitowiseläiset henkilökortista. Kaikilla tiloissa työskentelevillä ja vierailevilla tulee olla henkilökortti esillä.

Liikkuminen talossa vaatii kulkutunnisteen, johon on määritelty tarvittavat kulkuoikeudet. Myös hissillä kerroksiin kulkeminen edellyttää kulkutunnistetta.

Uudet työntekijät saavat kulkutunnisteen sekä siihen liittyvän henkilökohtaisen tunnusluvun aulapalvelusta työsuhteensa alussa. Tunnuslukua tarvitaan iltaisin ja öisin (klo 21.00-06.00) sekä viikonloppuisin (24h) ulko-ovien avaamiseen. Voit tarvittaessa tarkistaa sen aulapalvelussa.

Huomioithan, että kulkutunnistelukijalla varustettujen ovien auki pitäminen yli 2 minuutin ajan virka-ajan ulkopuolella aiheuttaa automaattisen hälytyksen vartiointiliikkeeseen.

The property has burglar alarms

  • at least once every two years (indoor areas)

Safety equipment

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: Kaikissa rakennuksissa paloilmoitinlaitteen luona ulko-oven tuulikaapissa.

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

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.

Fire alarm
Location Säterinportti, Sitowise Oy
Description Rakennuksessa on automaattinen palohälytinlaitteisto, josta hälytys ohjautuu suoraan pelastuslaitokselle.

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.

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. Exiting must also be possible to do in the dark, which is why the exit routes must be clear at all times. Objects are not to be stored in front of the exits. (Environment Ministry's regulation of fire safety of buildings.)

You must be able to make a quick exit from all spaces, thus especially meeting and business premises must have the minimum number and size of exit ways in the construction permit, which cannot be changed without an amendment to the construction permit. Exit ways and doors leading to them must be easily accessible and openable in emergency situations from the inside.

A door can be locked, for example, to prevent trespassing from the outside, but must it must be possible to open it from the inside without a key during the normal use of the building. Access control activities must not prevent safe exit from the building.

There are the following types of evacuation procedure in the premises:

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.

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.

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.
  • Call the number 112.
  • Tell where you are calling from. Linnoitustie 6, ESPOO
  • Tell what happened
  • Act according to directions.
  • Inform the emergency centre of any changes that take place in the condition of the patient.

Fire

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

  • Direct the rescue personnel to the location.

In evacuation situations the gathering area is: Linnoitustiellä pysäköintitalon vieressä

Back-up gathering area: Määritetään tarvittaessa

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.
Gathering area: Linnoitustiellä pysäköintitalon vieressä

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

Gathering area: Linnoitustiellä pysäköintitalon vieressä

When people have left the building and proceeded to the gathering area, one person must be appointed to take responsibility for the activities at the gathering area. 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 (the back-up gathering area).

Do not leave the gathering area without the permission of the rescue authorities.

Factors to bear in mind in the gathering area:

  • taking care of any possible injured parties
  • 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

Back-up gathering area: Määritetään tarvittaessa

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.

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 8 civil defence shelters:

Location Protection grade Location of equipment
Väestönsuojat rakennusten alapuolella

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.

Attachments

This rescue plan has the following attachments:

Business space owner's responsibilities

  • 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.

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.
