Fire safety

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)

Fire compartmentalisations in the builidings:
Building Type Description
Työkalutehdas Floor compartmentalisation, Usage method compartmentalisation Palo-osastointi kerroksittain ja käyttötarkoituksen mukaan.

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.
Rescue route
Location Kiinteistön vieressä olevat julkiset kadut sekä piha-alue toimivat pelastusteinä.
Description Pelastustie on ajotie tai muu yhteys, jota käyttäen hälytysajoneuvot pääsevät tulipalon sattuessa
tai muussa hätätilanteessa riittävän lähelle rakennusta. Pelastustielle on järjestettävä
ympärivuotinen kunnossapito.

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:

Building Evacuation procedures
Työkalutehdas Rakennuksesta on useita poistumisreittejä. Työntekijöiden määrään suhteutettuna poistumisreitit ovat riittävät.
- Uloskäytävät ovat aina pidettävä esteettöminä
- Toimitiloista poistutaan lähimmän hätäpoistumistien kautta
- Tilojen normaalin käytön aikana poistumiseen ei tarvita avainta
- Savuiseen porraskäytävään ei saa poistua vaan on käytettävä vaihtoehtoista reittiä
- Poistuttaessa on varmistuttava siitä, että tilat ovat tyhjät (varmistettava kaikkien ihmisten
ulospääsy)
- Viimeisenä poistuva sulkee ovet perässään – ei lukkoon!
- Poistumisen jälkeen siirrytään kokoontumispaikalle, jossa aloitetaan tarvittavat ensiaputoimet
- Poistumiseen ei saa käyttää henkilö- eikä tavarahissiä
Gathering area: Rakennuksen pohjoispuoli

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:

Renor Oy

Location of the permanent hot work site: Tuotantohallissa on erillisiä kiinteitä hitsauspisteitä kohdeimureilla.

Evacuation procedures

In an emergency situation, exiting will be led and directed by
Paikalla oleva henkilökunta toimitiloittain.
When and where to exit?
Poistumiseen käytetään merkittyjä turvallisia poistumisreittejä ja uloskäyntejä.
What has to be closed?
Väliovet, huoneiden ovet, ikkunat ja sähkölaitteet mahdollisuuksien mukaan.
What has to be done and who does it before exiting?
Henkilökunta opastaa asiakkaat ja vieraat ulos sekä pyrkii tarkastamaan, että omat toimitilat ovat tyhjät ennen kuin poistuvat itse.

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.

Damage assessment
Vahinkojen arviointi suoritetaan kiinteistön toimesta tapauskohtaisesti. Tukena käytetään tarvittaessa vakuutusyhtiötä tai muuta asiantuntijaa riippuen vahinkotyypistä.
Restoring the situation to normal
Normaaliin toimintaan pyritään palaamaan mahdollisimman ripeästi. Kiinteistön edustajat tilaavat tarvittavat korjaustoimenpiteet välittömästi.
Restoring damage to normal
Korjaustoimenpiteiden välitön aloittaminen. Vahingon kartoitus ja työn tilaus. Tarvittaessa yhteys vakuutusyhtiöön vakuutuskorvausten selvittämiseksi. Rikostapauksissa aina yhteys poliisiin.
Replacement premises and systems
Mikäli jokin rakennuksen osa vaatii korjausta, eristetään se korjausten ajaksi ja jatketaan toimintaa normaalisti mahdollisuuksien mukaan. Jos jokin järjestelmän vika tai rakennuksen osan vaurioituminen vaarantaa työntekijöiden tai asiakkaiden turvallisuuden, toimitila suljetaan korjausten ajaksi.

Sähköpaloturvallisuus

Tulipalot työpaikoilla saavat usein alkunsa koneista ja viallisista sähkölaitteista. Epäkunnossa olevien sähkölaitteiden käyttö tulee lopettaa välittömästi. Viallisen laitteen korjaus suoritetaan aina asiantuntevan huoltoliikeen toimesta. Herkästi päälle unohtuvat sähkölaitteet kuten kahvinkeittimet kannattaa varustaa kellokytkimellä. Sammutuspeite olisi hyvä löytyä tiloista, joissa em. sähkölaitteita on.

Vioittuneet vilkkuvat loisteputket ja sytyttimet tulee vaihdattaa. Mikäli havaitset vilkkuvan lampun, ilmoita siitä kiinteistöhuoltoon tai isännöintiin. Vioittunut loisteputki voi kuumentua jopa 200-asteiseksi, aiheuttaen näin suuren palovaaran. Vilkkuva valo kuluttaa myös huomattavasti enemmän sähköä.

Sähkölaitteiden paikkaa arvioitaessa on otettava huomioon sähkönsaanti. Jatkojohdot on tarkoitettu vain tilapäiskäyttöön. Vioittuneet jatkojohdot tulee poistaa käytöstä välittömästi.

Kylmälaitteiden kunnosta on huolehdittava. Epäkuntoinen laite tulee toimittaa huoltoon. Kylmälaitteiden takana sijaitsevat jäähdytyskennot tulee imuroida vuosittain. Laitteen taakse kertyvä pöly on herkästi syttyvää ja aiheuttaa laitteen ylikuormitusta.

Sähkökaappien edustat tulee pitää vapaana. Sähkökaappien tai -keskusten sisällä tavaroiden säilytys on kiellettyä. Teknisten tilojen siivous suoritetaan vuosittain.

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 evacuation situations the gathering area is: Rakennuksen pohjoispuoli

Back-up gathering area: Ilmoitetaan tarvittaessa

Action in the gathering area

Gathering area: Rakennuksen pohjoispuoli

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

  • 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.
  • Ask questions.
    • Where is the bomb?
    • What does the bomb look like?
    • When will the bomb explode?
    • Why?
  • Try to get your colleague's attention already during the phone call, so that he/she can inform the person responsible for safety during the call.
  • Pay attention to the caller's speaking style and tone of voice.
    • Does he/she use noticeable dialect or other special characteristics?
    • Is he/she agitated?
    • Is he/she reading the message from a piece of paper?
  • Listen to the background noises as well (e.g. traffic or discussions in the background).
  • After the call, notify the safety and security personnel on your premises or property (cf. chapter of safety and security personnel).
  • If this is not possible, call the police immediately at 112 and act according to their instructions.

A suspicious object or threatening letter

  • Do not touch the object.
  • If the item in question is a letter or other such object that you have handled, pay attention to the places you have touched and place the letter in a plastic pocket, for example.
  • Notify immediately the personnel responsible for safety and security on your premises and the property (cf. chapter on safety and security personnel) as well as the police at emergency number 112.
  • Isolate the area as well as possible. Keep in mind possible police investigations (fingerprints and footprints are first-class evidence).
  • Do not panic. Act according to the instructions from the police and the safety personnel.

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 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. 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 area unless urged to do so by the authorities.

Gas hazard

It is recommended to appoint a person in charge of safety and security, who will take care of safety and security matters and work in cooperation with the property's appointed people in charge.

The owner and business practitioner of the space must both ensure that the building, structures and their environs are maintained in such a condition that

  • the risk of fire, intentional lighting of a fire, and the threat of spreading is minimal
  • people in the building can, in the case of fire, or some other kind of sudden danger situation, exit the building or they can be rescued in other ways
  • rescue action is possible in the event of fire or another kind of accident.

Easily flammable material or other items are not permitted to be stored in the attic, the basement, hallways or exit ways, under the building, or in its immediate proximity.

The following equipment and devices must be kept in working order and serviced and inspected appropriately:

  • extinguishing equipment
  • fire detection, alarm, and other detecting and alarming devices signalling danger
  • guides and lighting for exit ways.

The owner and user of the space are for their part responsible for the condition of the equipment and will notify of defects to the persons in charge.

The owner and business practitioner of the space must, for their part

  • prevent fires from starting and other danger situations from arising
  • prepare for the protection of people, property, and environment in danger situations
  • preparing for extinguishing fires as well as for other rescue operations, within their individual capabilities

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.

Fire hydrant

  • Open the fire hydrant cabinet. If necessary, break the plastic covering of the lockguard by, for example, hitting it with your elbow.
  • Open the stopcock and pull out as much hose as you need.
  • Turn on the nozzle at the end of the hose and begin extinguishing from a safe distance.
  • Direct the water jet at the base of the flames and continue until the fire has been extinguished.
  • Make sure the fire has been put out. Suffocate or wet all possibly still- smouldering spots.

Do not put yourself in danger. Avoid breathing smoke. If the extinguishing is not succeeding, move to safety. Close the door to the space to limit the fire.

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.
