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:

Sisäänkäynnille. Henkilökunta järjestää opastajan ulos auttajia vastaan

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 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: ISS, phone 0800157777, service 0800157777
• Contact the emergency number if needed 112.
• Main water shutoff: Päätyportaikon kellarikerros, ensimmäinen ovi porraskäytävä
• Heat distribution room: Kellarikerros,IV-konehuoneen takana
• Electricity switchboard: Kellarikerros, päätyportaikon puoleinen pääty

Should there be threat of water outside the building

• Inform property maintenance and, if needed, the emergency centre on 112.

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.

Blackouts

In the event of a power cut, the safety lights will remain on.

Using lifts during a power cut is not possible.

Action during a power cut

Electricity is down in the operating premises, but the lights of public areas are still working

• If possible, check the fuses in the operating premises' own electrical switchboard.
• If the problem was not solved, contact property maintenance (tel. 0800157777).

Electricity is down in both the operating premises and the public areas

• Use a flashlight
• Direct others, if so needed.

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 - (KONE Hissit Oy, 080015063) or
• the emergency button inside the lift. (This will connect directly to the lift maintenance emergency line.)

When necessary, you can call the general emergency number 112.

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, basement and storage area passages

• It is not permitted to store any items.

Basement spaces

• Do not store easily flammable material.
• Storage of flammable liquids (e.g. liquefied gas and petrol) prohibited.

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

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
