- 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))

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.

Description | Nostopaikka porraskäytävän oven edustalla |
Emergency exit routes
The principle of exit safety is that all spaces of the building must have at least two exit routes at all times, which do not require keys or other tools 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. Because the property has 6 floors, the window or apartment- specific balcony shall serve as an emergency exit. In this event, the rescue department shall assist in evacuating the building in case of emergency. Objects are not to be stored in front of the exits. (Environment Ministry's regulation of fire safety of buildings.)
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.
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.
Performing hot work at a temporary hot work site always requires a permission granted by a person responsible for the hot work. The hot work permission ensures the actions of the different parties regarding safety and fire protection. The person conducting the hot work must have a hot work licence.
The property manager office grants the hot work permissions.

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
- Find out what happened
-
- Has the person fallen or fainted?
- Are there possibly eye witnesses, that can tell you better about what has happened?
- Check the person's condition
-
- Can you wake the person up by talking or shaking?
- Check breathing
-
- If the person doesn't wake up, check breathing: place the back of your hand in front of the patient's mouth and feel if there is air flow.
- Make an emergency call.
-
- Call the number 112.
- Tell where you are calling from.
- Tell what happened
- Act according to directions.
- Give first aid if needed.
-
- If the person is not breathing, start with first aid.
- Turn an unconscious but breathing patient into the recovery position on their side.
- Observe the patient.
-
- If there are changes in the patient's condition before the rescue department arrives, notify them by calling the emergency number 112, so that the emergency centre can re-evaluate your situation.
- Guide the professional help quickly to the patient
-
- Tell the professional help what has happened and what has been done.
Fire
- Save
-
- Make an assessment of the situation. Rescue those in immediate danger.
- Be careful not to breathe smoke! Smoke is highly toxic and you can lose consciousness quickly if you breathe it.
- Warn
-
- Warn others in the building about the fire and the threatening danger.
- Direct people to the gathering area.
- Alert
-
- Call the emergency number 112 from a safe location.
- Tell who you are, where the fire is (address and floor), what is on fire, and if there are people in danger.
- Do not hang up the phone until you are given permission to do so.
- Extinguish
-
- Perform initial extinguishing measures, where possible.
- A grease fire is extinguished by suffocating it with a fire blanket.
- When an electrical appliance is on fire, disconnect power and begin extinguishing the fire.
- Limit
-
- Remove fire sensitive items and flammable liquids.
- Contain the spread of fire and smoke by closing windows and the door as you exit.
- Guide
-
- Direct the rescue personnel to the location or arrange guidance. For example: one person stays to guide on the side of the parking lot and another next to the building.
- Using the lift in the event of a fire is strictly forbidden!
In evacuation situations the gathering area is: Laajaniityntien varrella oleva jalkakäytävä
Back-up gathering area: Osoitetaan tarvittaessa
Jos kuulet palovaroittimen soivan porraskäytävässä älä soita välittömästi 112 vaan tarkasta näkyykö porraskäytävässä savua. Jos savua näkyy, soita 112. Mikäli savua ei näy, soita huoltoyhtiö tarkastamaan tilanne.
Jos toisessa asunnossa soi palovaroitin, tarkista näkyykö savua, jos ei niin soita huoltoyhtiö tarkastamaan tilanne.
Tulipalo – toimintaohjeet, kun turvallinen poistuminen on estynyt
Joskus toisaalla riehuva tulipalo estää turvallisen poistumisen kiinteistöstä. Näissä tapauksissa on viisainta pysytellä savuttomassa tilassa ovet ja muut aukot suljettuina.
Jää asuntoon ja ole rauhallinen.
- Älä poistu porraskäytävään.
- Kerrostaloissa jokainen asunto on tehty omaksi palo-osastokseen, josta palon leviäminen toiseen asuntoon on estetty rakenteellisin toimenpitein.
- Hyppääminen korkealta johtaa kohtalokkaisiin seurauksiin, asuntoon jääminen ei.
- Mene parvekkeelle tai ikkunan luo ja herätä huomiota
- huutamalla
- vilkuttamalla valoja
- heiluttamalla jotain näkyvää
- voit myös soittaa numeroon 112 ja kertoa tarkan osoitteen missä olet.
Varaudu tulipalon leviämiseen.
- Laske varmuuden vuoksi vettä esimerkiksi lavuaariin.
- Jos asuntoon alkaa tulla savua ovien raoista, postiluukusta tai ilmanvaihtoventtiileistä, tuuleta raikkaalla ilmalla ja tiivistä vuotokohdat kosteilla tekstiileillä.
- Jos asunnon ovi alkaa kuumeta, jäähdytä sitä vedellä.
- Jos liekit lyövät asunnon ikkunoihin, siirrä helposti syttyvät tavarat pois ikkunoiden läheisyydestä.
Noudata viranomaisten antamia ohjeita.
Action in the gathering area
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
In severe winter conditions or other situations, an additional gathering area may be needed. 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. If you know there is a neighbour with reduced mobility, for example handicapped, blind, or elderly, try to secure their safe exit in emergency situations. If you know your neighbour is at home, but you are not able to assist in moving them out, notify the rescue authorities about the situation as fast as possible.
Work in cooperation with the other residents.
- Things to consider when helping people with reduced mobility
-
- Help a person with reduced mobility to exit, within the limits of your own capabilities.
- Listen to the person you're helping.
- Take care of the person you helped also after getting out.
Water damage

- If there is a leak, try to block it.
- Try to prevent the water from getting into the building.
- by baggings
- by using plastic covers
- by directing the water away from the building
- Call for additional help if needed.
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 warning is given in population centres with an outdoor alarm system and with an alarm attached to a vehicle in rural areas.
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.
- Stay 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 areas unless urged to do so by the authorities, so as not to endanger yourself on the way.
Gas hazard
- Public warning signal in danger situations concerning gas
-
Additional information on the type of danger can be got from radio and television. The following are usually connected with a gas hazard.
- If you are indoors and can smell gas:
- stay indoors
- the top floors make the best shelter
- place a wet cloth over your mouth and breathe through it
- stay on the upper floors until the danger is over
- do not go into the basement.
- 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
- press a wet cloth, tuft of grass, turf, or moss in front of your mouth and breathe through it.
- If you are indoors and can smell gas:
- Additional information on taking cover from gas
-
- Switch off air conditioning devices and close doors and windows tightly. The more airtight you can make the building, the slower the gas can get inside.
- 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.
Radiation hazard
Radiation situations are monitored with gauges throughout the country. Even the slightest change is detected immediately and notified of. A public warning signal is given upon the threat of radiation.
- Go inside
- Close doors, windows, ventilation holes, and air conditioning tightly to prevent radioactive substances from getting indoors. The centre and basement of the building are the best places to take shelter.
- Iodine tablets
- Take an iodine tablet only when the authorities tell you to do so either on the radio or on television. Iodine tablets prevent radioactive iodine from building up in the thyroid gland, but offers no other protection. You should not go outside the facilities to look for iodine tablets when the danger situation is present. You can acquire iodine beforehand from the pharmacy. Each property should have 2 iodine tablets per person.
- Protect your food and drinking water
- Put the food products that are out into plastic bags or tight containers. The refrigerator, freezer, and tight packages protect against radioactive dust.
- Moving outside
- If you must go outside, use tight clothing that covers the skin, for example rain gear. Upon coming back inside, take off your clothes in the entry hall and wash up well. Use a respiratory mask, towel, or paper towel to prevent radioactive particles from getting to your lungs.
- Additional instructions
- You will get additional information from your city's rescue authorities, from broadcast media, and from Yle's (the Finnish Broadcasting Company's) Teletext page 867. You can also find information from the Finnish Radiation and Nuclear Safety Authority's website www.stuk.fi and from the rescue authorities website www.pelastustoimi.fi.
Blackouts
How to act during a power cut:
- First check the fuses. If they are intact, find out whether the electricity of your neighbour or neighbouring houses is working.
- If the electricity is out from a larger area, the problem is already known and actions to fix it have started. Most electricity suppliers have a taped recording of the malfunction on its fault service number, which will give information on the blackout situation in your area.
- When the electricity comes back but acts unusually, for example the lights burn brighter or dimmer than usual, the reason might a break in the electricity network's neutral wire. This can result in equipment damage, fire and, in the worst case, the risk of electric shock. In such situations, switch off the electricity from the main switch and call your electricity supplier's fault emergency number.
- When a power cut lasts longer, prepare yourself with warm clothes, especially in the winter, and home storage supplies. Instructions regarding home storage supplies can be found in the appendices.
In the event of a power cut, lifts will stop working. Should you be stuck on a lift due to a power cut or other failure, act as follows:
Contact the lift maintenance emergency line:
- by mobile phone - (Espoon Hissi Oy, 0207811888)
When necessary, you can call the general emergency number 112.
Huom: kylmälaitteiden, jääkaappi ja pakastin, avaamista tulee välttää sähkökatkon aikana.
Civil defence
This property does not have its own civil defence shelter.
The property has a civil defence shelter. As Oy Kultalaakson kellarikerros (A-porras).
The purpose of the civil defence shelter is to protect people from collapses, explosion pressure, fragments and radiation. Moving into civil defence shelters is always done through directions from the authorities. Accidents occurring in normal times do not generally ever require taking cover in civil defence shelters, with taking cover indoors being sufficient.
Storing in the property
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. It is easier to prevent a fire pre-emptively than to extinguish it. For this reason it is necessary to know what causes fires and to recognise the hazardous factors in one's own immediate environment. Rescue law contains directives on, for example, the storage of easily flammable materials and other objects within buildings. Legislation on chemicals contains restrictions on storage of flammable liquids and other dangerous chemicals in spaces where they can cause an exceptional hazard. Many substances which are kept at home also generate explosive gases that ignite from a spark, for example the spark caused by a light switch - so fire is not even needed for ignition. Therefore always handle fire- hazardous substances in accordance with instructions. Storing fire hazardous substances in apartment-specific storage rooms is strictly forbidden. Storing them in apartments and garages is limited.
The building's exit hallways and staircase areas must be kept walkable and clear of any obstacles.
- Apartments and the balconies, terraces or equivalent areas belonging to them
-
- If storage is possible without endangering safety, the following can be stored:
- flammable liquids and aerosols containing flammable liquids or flammable gases, up to a maximum amount of 25 litres
- up to 25 kg of liquid gas
- fireworks, up to 5 kg (net weight), must be stored in a locked closet accordingly with no heat sources or handling of fire, which could cause the fireworks to explode
- Flammable gases, other than the aforementioned, must not be stored in the apartment.
- Storing of unnecessary items in the apartments should be avoided.
- If storage is possible without endangering safety, the following can be stored:
- Exit corridors, staircases, inside hallways, basement and storage area passages
-
- It is not permitted to store any items.
- Loose fittings storage units
-
- Do not store easily flammable material.
- Liquefied petroleum gas is not to be stored in loose fittings storage units.
- No storing of petrol, gas bottles, or other flammable fluids.
- Firework devices are not to be stored in the apartment-specific storage spaces of the loose fittings storage units or in public spaces in common use.
- 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
- Refuse containers outside, as well as refuse shelters, are to be positioned at least 8 metres away from the building
- A separate storage space belonging to the residential building residential building)
-
-
It can store:
- flammable liquids and aerosols containing flammable liquids or flammable gases, up to a maximum total amount of 50 litres
- up to 50 kg of liquid gas
-
It can store:
- 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
The resident is responsible for acquiring extinguishing equipment for the apartment.
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 shelter
The vehicle shelter is intended only for the storage of motor vehicles. The intended use is mentioned in the up-to-date construction permit.
The fire safety requirements of the construction of a vehicle shelter are specified in class E of Finland's national building code. The requirements have some differences in relation to other usage purposes in terms of, for example, the fire resistance and evacuation safety of structures.
The car shelter may not be used in contravention of the building permit except with the permission of the building monitor. The purpose of use is a parking area for motor vehicles, i.e. not a car wash, loading area, refuse room, storeroom, shop, flea market, car repair garage, tire store etc.
Keeping other loose equipment in vehicle shelters is more limited due to greater risks to personal property and people. In addition to motor vehicles, the following objects may be stored:
- mopeds, motorcycles, snowmobiles and other motor vehicles in the Finnish Transport Safety Agency's vehicle registry

Home storage supplies
Home storage supplies are a part of a housing company's residents' independent protection. Surprising circumstances are easier to overcome when you have a home storage supply at home. Home storage supply means those food and other daily goods that are stocked up on more than normally needed in weekly/monthly use. The home storage supply should last for several days, even a week. The home storage supply consists of everyday groceries and items, which are stocked up on as they are used up. This way the groceries and other items stay fresh and usable.
A situation where you cannot get to the store can surprise you for many reasons. A person living alone can get sick and is not able to go shopping or a member of the family can fall sick. The wider society is vulnerable as well; there can be a strike, traffic connections may break down, or there might be a wider disturbance in the electricity grid. There can be an accident which closes the stores or prevents you from going outside. Additionally, distribution disturbances can prevent goods from getting to the stores as well as getting items from the store.
Each family has their own kind of home reserves consisting of usual groceries. The contents of the home reserves can differ based on the household's food preferences and also include containers for storing water, medicine, iodine tablets, as well as household-specific necessities. The home reserves should last at least a week, preferably two – home reserves are continuously used and restocked continuously.
The home reserves also include essential supplies, of which there must be a supply for the same period as in the case of food. These are, amongst others, personal medication, hygiene products, nappies, a battery-powered radio, an electric flashlight and batteries.
