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
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.
See the appendix Assembly points.
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:
Lari LampainenISS Palvelut
phone 0400863456
lari.lampainen@iss.fi
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.
Information sharing and training
Training all personnel
Government Decree on Rescue Services 407/2011, Section 2 imposes the following obligations: “The rescue plan must be kept up to date and it must be communicated in an appropriate way to the building’s... staff and other participants in the implementation of the rescue plan.”
All personnel who work in the location must be informed of the rescue plan and its central features.
Person responsible for onboarding: Supervisor
Sharing information on safety issues: The plan is reviewed with the staff.
Training sessions: Are organised when necessary.
Training sessions: Executing the plan in practice through regular emergency evacuation exercises in which all staff and students participate.
Training new employees:
The immediate superior always trains the new employee on the central features of the rescue plan and goes through exit routes and the locations of the first extinguishing equipment.
Safety training
- The director responsible for safety is responsible for the organisation of safety training.
- Near accidents must be reported to occupational safety. Occupational safety reviews the reports.
- Information on safety is shared through various training and education sessions as well as by reading the plan.
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:
Straight to the site from Erkki Koiso-Kanttilan katu street.
Sudden illness or accident
Emergency first aid
The purpose of emergency first aid is to secure the patient’s open airway and maintain breathing and blood circulation.
- Assess the situation, make sure you are safe and call 112.
- Open the patient’s airway by lifting their chin up and tilting their forehead back.
- Check whether the patient is breathing. An unconscious patient is not breathing if you cannot feel an airflow with your hand, ear or cheek.
- Start cardio-pulmonary resuscitation (CPR).
Instructions for mouth-to-mouth resuscitation:
- Begin CPR
- 30 chest compressions
- 2 rescue breaths
If rescue breaths do not make the chest rise, DO NOT continue giving rescue breaths. It is vital to maintain the patient’s blood circulation with chest compressions.
5. Place an unconscious but breathing patient into the recovery position. 6. Treat bleeding by applying pressure on the wound by hand. 7. Help a patient with a back injury by keeping their head still.
Do this in an emergency:
- Stop and calm down
- Call 112
- First, make sure you are safe, and prevent further damage
- Give emergency first aid
- Guide the professionals to the scene
Diabetes fatigue
When the blood sugar level of a diabetic person drops too low, they go into diabetic shock, which can be a life-threatening condition.
Identify the symptoms:
- Sweating, paleness, shaking.
- Irritation, anxiety.
- Dizziness, irregular heartbeat.
- Feeling hungry.
- Headache, nausea.
- Blurry vision, double vision.
- Unusual behaviour (e.g. irritatibility, moodiness).
- At worst there will be convulsions and loss of consiousness, if the blood sugar level drops too low.
First aid for a diabetic shock
- Immediately give the person a sugary snack or drink, if they are conscious and able to eat or drink. Do not let an unconsious person consume anything by mouth.
- If the person does not revocer within 10 minutes or loses consiousness, call 112.
- Place the unconsious person on their side.
Cuts and wounds
Knowing how to stop the bleeding and dress a wound are basic first aid skills.
- Stop the bleeding.
- Rinse any dirt from the wound under cool running water.
- Close the edges of a small cut with medical tape.
- Cover the wound with a bandage.
- Seek treatment, if necessary.
- Check whether your tetanus shot is valid.
- Bleeding, deep and dirty wounds and larger cuts must be treated by a doctor. You cannot always tell if there is tissue damage by just looking at the wound.
Bleeding
The amount of external bleeding is hard to measure and assess reliably. Heavy blood loss (more than 20%) can cause a shock.
How to stop the bleeding:
- Stop the bleeding by pressing the wound with your finger(s) or the palm of your hand. You can also ask the wounded person to press on the wound.
- Help the injured person sit or lie down, as necessary
- Apply a pressure bandage on the wound using gauze or other clean cloth that is available, such as a scarf.
- Call the emergency number 112, if you think the situation calls for it.
- Heavy bleeding can lead to circulatory failure or shock. Administer first aid to the injured person according to the symptoms of shock.
If the wound has a foreign object in it, such as. a nail or a knife, do not remove it when you administer first aid. If the object makes breathing difficult, it must be removed immediately.
Shock
The symptoms of a shock can be the result of heavy internal or external bleeding, severe fractures, burn injuries or dehydration caused by violent diarrhea. A shock may also be caused by heart failure or a strong allergic reaction.
Identify the symptoms of shock:
- Pale and cold, clammy skin.
- Agitation, followed by disorientation.
- Rapid breathing.
- Dry mouth, thirst.
- Rapid, weak pulse.
First aid for shock:
- Make the person lie down in a comfortable position.
- Call the emergency number 112.
- Protect from cold with a blanket or jacket and separate from cold surface.
- Help the person calm down.
- Do not offer any food or drink.
- Monitoring the breathing and circulation of blood.
- Administer any other first aid measures necessary for the symptoms.
Seizures
Dysfunctions in the brain can cause unintentional muscle spasms and seizures. A person may be seizing for several reasons. Reasons can be, for example, epilepsy, cerebral haemorrhage, high fever or an accident.
Identify the symptoms:
- The patient loses consciousness, falls and their body seizes.
- The seizing is followed by twitching seizures. Seizures usually last only for 1-2 minutes.
Seizure first aid:
- Make an emergency call to 112.
- Do not try to prevent movements caused by the seizure, but ensure that the patient does not hit their head or otherwise hurt themselves.
- Secure unobstructed breathing.
- Place the patient into the recovery position as soon as the seizures decrease.
- If you know that the patient has epilepsy, make an emergency call to 112 if the seizure is prolonged or it repeats.
- If the seizure passes by itself, ensure that the patient is fully recovered before you leave them.
- Contact a doctor, if the seizure is caused by a child’s fever.
Poisoning
Most common causes for poisoning are alcohol, medication, poisonous plants or mushrooms.
If you do not identify clear symptoms of poisoning and need guidance, you can call the Poison Information Centre at 09 471 977 (24h/day)
Medication overdose
Call 112 immediately, if you suspect that the patient’s life is in danger because of an overdose of medication.
Do this
- Give a conscious patient an activated charcoal tablet if they are available
- Place an unconscious but normally breathing patient into the recovery position.
- Collect all medication and medication containers for the paramedics.
- Do not let the patient drink alcohol.
Swallowing poisonous plant or mushroom
Try to find out which plant or mushroom is the cause of the poisoning.
Do this
*First, check if there is a piece of a plant or a mushroom in the patient’s mouth. * Give the patient activated charcoal according to the instructions on the packaging. * Call 112 or the Poison Information Centre, tel. 09 471 977 (24h/day)
Burn injuries
A burn injury is tissue damage caused by heat or a corrosive chemical substance, in which the skin, and in some cases, the tissue underneath the skin, is damaged. If the skin is not cooled, the injury spreads to the deeper skin layers and pain lasts for longer.
First aid for a small burn:
- Cool the burn with cool water for 15-20 minutes as soon as possible.
- Do not break the blisters.
- You can cover the burn with a clean bandage or a bandage designed specifically for treating burns.
When to see a doctor?
If the burn is:
- infected
- larger than a palm second degree burn
- or a third degree burn
- an electrical burn
- a facial burn or a deep burn on a hand
- in the respiratory track
- on a child
- on an elder
- on a person with a pre-existing condition, for example, diabetes

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.
See the appendix Assembly points.
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.
The security personnel and staff will convey the information to the students.
Actions of staff
- guide the students and visitors out via the nearest emergency exit route to the assembly point.
- help any persons with reduced mobility to exit the premises if they need assistance.
Regional supervisors
- check the premises in their area of responsibility and close the doors to spaces that have been deemed empty
- secure the exits and prevent anyone from entering the emergency site *guide the students and visitors to the nearest emergency exit route and towards the assembly point
Service assistants
- guide the students and visitors out into the assembly point
- where possible, opens the main doors to facilitate exiting the premises
Action in the gathering area
See the appendix Assembly points.
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
See the appendix Assembly points
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.

- Tell the students, visitors and people in corridors and outdoors to get indoors.
- Lock the doors of the teaching premises.
- The staff will lock the exterior doors.
- Wait for more information from the authorities.
Second phase/degree
Proceed into the second degree/phase if the threat is inside the property or in its vicinity.
Steps taken:
- Lock the doors of the teaching premises.
- Turn off the lights of the premises and close any curtains.
- Turn off mobile phones or put them on silent mode.
- The phone of the teacher or the leader of the premises must be on, but on silent mode.

- The authorities are in charge of the emergency operations – you are responsible for your own group.
- If there is no clear instruction or order – whether to get into safety indoors or get out – make the decision!
The decision is affected by the location of the space and the shelter given by the space.
- It is safe to shelter in a lockable space without any openings in the walls.
- It is difficult to take shelter in a space with glass walls or an unlockable door.
- If a safe escape route is visible and safe, you can consider exiting.
- If the escape route is far and not visible, it is not safe to exit.
- As the situation requires, act according to the degree 1 or 2.
- If needed, report information you have received to the authorities.
After the situation
- Normal activities are resumed as far as possible.
- The situation should be discussed with the students and staff in accordance with the crisis communication of the educational institution.
- Do not give statements to the media. The authorities and predefined people are responsible for giving out information.
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 | Surface area | Defence shelter places | Location of equipment |
---|---|---|---|---|
Floor 0 , near staircase T2, VSS 3 | S1 | 90 m² | 120 | Corridor J, floor 0, in the common storage facility |
Floor 0 , near staircase S2 | - | - | Corridor J, floor 0, in the common storage facility |
One 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.
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
