Introduction

The drafting, upkeep and communication of the rescue plan are based on the requirement of the Rescue Act (379/2011). In this rescue plan, there is an account:

  1. for the conclusions of the assessment of hazards and risks;
  2. for the safety arrangements of the building and the premises used in the operations;
  3. regarding the instructions to be given to people for the prevention of accidents and acting in accident and danger situations;
  4. other possible actions for independent preparation at the location. (Rescue Act 379/2011, Section 15))

The rescue plan must be kept up to date and it must be communicated in the necessary way to the persons in the relevant building or other site. (Government Decree on Rescue Action 407/2011, Section 2.)

There are also other requirements for safety in the Rescue Act; the most important of these are:
The owner and holder of the building and the operator must, for their part take care that the building, structure and its surroundings are kept in such condition that:

  1. the risk of the starting, intentional starting and spreading of a fire is slight;
  2. 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;
  3. rescue operations are possible in the event of fire or another accident;
  4. 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:

  1. extinguishing, rescue and prevention equipment;
  2. devices that facilitate extinguishing and rescue work;
  3. fire detection, alarm and other devices signalling the risk of an accident;
  4. the lighting and signs of the exit routes;
  5. 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:

  1. the starting of fires is to be prevented, as well as the arising of other hazardous situations;
  2. the protection of persons, property and the surroundings in danger situations is to be prepared for;
  3. the extinguishing of fires, and other such rescue measures that they are able to do independently, are to be prepared for;
  4. 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))

Risk assessment

A risk assessment has been carried out as part of the preparation of the emergency plan and is presented in this chapter. The assessment has focused on more mundane issues and the conclusions are presented at the end of the chapter. A hazard is defined as a factor or circumstance that can cause harm or bring about an adverse event. Risk is the combined effect of the probability of harm associated with a threat and the severity of the consequences. In this case, the probability of the hazard occurring and the severity of the consequences have been assessed verbally. Measures and preventive actions have also been set out for each hazard.

Hazards:

  • Fire - Water damage - Falls, slips, trips and similar accidents - Storm damage and other weather-related hazards, such as snow or ice falling on people or property in winter, or trees falling in a yard in high winds, for example - External hazards, such as traffic accidents in the vicinity or radiation and gas hazards - Interruptions or malfunctions in the supply of electricity, water or district heating - Vandalism, robbery or burglary.
Risk
Causes
Consequences Actions and safety and security preparations
Vesivahinko
Mahdollisia syitä ovat yleensä jäätyminen, tukokset tai laitteiden vikaantuminen. Ulkopuolisia syitä ovat myrskyt ja esimerkiksi hulevesitulvat (rankkasateet, lumien sulaminen).
Mahdolliset omaisuusvahingot Huolletaan ja ylläpidetään talon LVI-tekniikkaa, ilmoitetaan puutteista, käytetään kodinkoneita (pesukoneet) vain valvottuina, laitteiden uusimisen myötä suositellaan aina vuotokaukaloa, pidetään sadevesiviemärit kunnossa.
Vahingonteot, varkaudet
Mm. graffitit, ikkunoiden tai kaluston rikkomiset tai tuhopoltot.
Seurauksena pääasiallisesti lievät omaisuusvahingot. Sytytetty kohde (esimerkiksi rakennuksen seinustalla olevala puukasa) voi levitä suuremmaksi paloksi, jolloin myös seuraukset ovat vakavammat. Ulkoalueilla ja sisäänkäynneillä riittävä valaistus. Ilkivallan jäljet (esim. töherrykset) korjataan mahdollisimman pian havainnon jälkeen. Vältetään turhan palokuorman säilyttämistä rakennuksen seinustoilla ja sisätiloissa. Varmistetaan että kulkiessa ei jää auki / lukitsematta vahingossa ovia, esimerkiksi irtaimistovaraston ovea. Lukitukseen ja valaistukseen liittyvät puutteet ilmoitetaan kiinteistöhuollolle.
Tulipalo
Asuinkiinteistöissä tilastollisesti suurin tulipalojen aiheuttaja on ruuanlaitto, avotulen käyttö sekä viallisten sähkölaitteiden käyttö. Monesti tulipalojen alkamiseen liittyy ihmisen toiminta tai huolimattomuus. Huoneistoissa ja varastoissa on yleensä paljon tavaraa, joka tulipalotilanteessa toimii palokuormana. Toisinaan tulipalo voi aiheutua myös ihmisestä riippumatta, esimerkiksi viallisessa tai huoltamattomassa sähkökeskuksessa (esim. oikosulut). Tulitöiden tekeminen on aina tulipaloriski.
Mahdolliset henkilö- ja omaisuusvahingot

Avotulen käyttö ja ruuanlaitto vain valvottuna. Rikkinäisten sähkölaitteita ei saa käyttää (tapaturma- ja tulipaloriski). Myöskään isompia kodinkoneita (pesukoneet) ei tule käyttää ilman valvontaa. Asuinhuoneistoihin suositellaan sammutuspeitteiden hankintaa. Yhteisissä tiloissa, porraskäytävissä, kulkukäytävillä ja rakennuksen seinustoilla ei saa säilyttää ylimääräistä tavaraa. Myöskään sähkötiloissa ei säilytetä ylimääräistä tavaraa. Jätepisteellä jätteet tulee lajitella asianmukaisesti eikä sinne saa jättää huonekaluja, vaan ne tulee hävittää asianmukaisesti. Mahdolliset tulityöt suoritetaan tulityölupaprosessin mukaisesti. Irtaimistovarastoissa ei saa säilyttää palavia aineita.

Ulkoalueilla huolehditaan siitä, että esimerkiksi ajoneuvoja pysäköidään vain niille osoitetuille paikoille, jotta pelastuslaitos ja ensihoito pystyvät toimimaan kohteella.

Tapaturma tai sairauskohtaus
Esimerkiksi talvella liukkaus saattaa johtaa kaatumisiin tai kompastumisiin. Rakennuksen katolta voi pudota lunta tai jäätä. Katualueelle voi pudota tavaroita. Henkilökohtaiset sairaudet, kuten epilepsia tai diabetes, voivat aiheuttaa sairauskohtauksen. Erityisesti vanhemmilla asukkailla sairauskohtauksien mahdollisuus kasvaa. Todennäköisimmät tapaturmat sattuvat kuitenkin kotona, esimerkiksi ruoanlaiton yhteydessä. Näitä ovat esimerkiksi pienet palovammat tai viillot. Kotona voi sattua myös sähkötapaturma, jos käytetään viallisia sähkölaitteita tai esimerkiksi kännykän akku vioittuu.
Mahdolliset henkilö- ja omaisuusvahingot. Pienet haverit asuinkiinteistöissä todennäköisiä.
Sähkölaitetapaturmiin liittyy yleensä myös tulipalon vaara.

Asukkaiden havaitessa puutteita, esimerkiksi liukkauden torjunnassa tai rikkinäisiä valoja, tulee niistä ilmoittaa välittömästi kiinteistöhuoltoon tai yhtiön hallitukselle. Talvella kiinteistöhuolto hoitaa talvella liukkauden eston sekä tarvittaessa lumen ja jään poiston katolta. Yleisten tilojen kunnossapidosta huolehditaan ja varmistetaan, että esimerkiksi kulkureiteillä ei ole ylimääräistä tavaraa. Suositellaan että asukkaat hankkivat kotiinsa tavanomaiset ensiaputarvikkeet (laastareita, haavojen hoitoaineet jne) ja opettelevat käyttämään niitä.

Ulkoalueilla huolehditaan siitä, että esimerkiksi ajoneuvoja pysäköidään vain niille osoitetuille paikoille, jotta pelastuslaitos ja ensihoito pystyvät toimimaan kohteella.

Sähkökatkot, vesivuodot tai muut kiinteistötekniikan ongelmatilanteet
Äkilliset tai suunnitellut sähkö- tai muut tekniikan käyttökatkot. Rikkoutuneet laitteet, esimerkiksi ilmanvaihtokoneet tai vesivuoto.
Rikkoutunut kiinteistötekniikka aiheuttaa yleensä vain hetkellistä haittaa. Vesivuoto voi huomaamattomana laajentua isommaksi vesivahingoksi. Äkilliset tai suunnitellut sähkökatkot eivät lyhytaikaisesti aiheuta asumiseen suurempia ongelmia, mutta pidentyessään hankaloittavat asumista merkittävästi.

Sähkön, veden tai lämmönjakelun häiriöt ovat epätodennäköisiä, mutta asukkaita suositellaan varautuvan niihin kotivaralla, jonka perusajatus on että kaikkien tulisi pärjätä kotioloissa 72 tuntia omavaraisesti. Kotivaraan ja omatoimiseen varautumiseen lisätietoja suomalaisten viranomaisten ja yhdistysten perustamassa 72 tuntia - sivustolla. Jos asukkaalla on vaikeuksia tulla toimeen omatoimisesti, tulee katkotilanteisiin varautua vakavammin ja olla valmiina hakemaan myös ulkopuolista apua. Asukkaiden on hyvä huomioida myös naapurit arjessa.

Rikkoutuneesta kiinteistötekniikasta tai vuotavista vesikalusteista ilmoitetaan aina välittömästi suoraan kiinteistöhuoltoon. Vesivuotojen osalta vesikalusteissa on myös linjasulut, jotka on mahdollisuuksien mukaan suljettava välittömästi isomman vahingon estämiseksi.

Poikkeustilanteet
Lähialueella säteilyvaaratilanne tai muu vakava tapahtuma.
Mahdolliset henkilövahingot, sisälle suojautuminen, mahdollinen evakuointi. Poikkeustilanteissa toimitaan viranomaisten ohjeistuksen mukaisesti.

Conclusions of the hazard and risk assessment

The site is a residential building, and the everyday hazards and risks associated with it are linked to this. The most common occurrences in residential buildings are accidents, and statistically they are likely to occur inside the dwelling. Slips and trips in the yard or on stairs are also associated with normal housing. Many incidents can be prevented through the use of common sense, and any deficiencies found should always be reported.

Safety manager

A protection manager has been nominated for the housing organisation, who is responsible for their part for the safety of the housing organisation. The protection manager acts to provide an example of safety to the other residents of the housing organisation. His/her tasks vary, depending on the situation.

Fire safety

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 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 2 floors, the window 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.

Action guidelines

Calling for help

In all emergencies, whether you need urgent assistance from the police, rescue services, ambulance or social services, CALL: 112 Make the emergency call yourself if you can It is important that the person concerned makes the emergency call. They will have the information that the dispatcher needs to determine what kind of help will be sent to the scene. Tell what has happened The emergency dispatcher will ask the caller for information about what has happened so that he or she can send the right help to the situation if necessary. Tell the exact address and municipality The emergency centre may have several of the same address in different municipalities. The address of the scene is $(street address), $(postal code) Answer questions asked of you The questions asked by the dispatcher have a purpose. The questions will not delay the call for help. In an emergency, the dispatcher will alert the authorities and partners who come to help during the call and provide them with further information about the incident. Act on the instructions given The dispatcher is trained to give instructions for different situations. It is important to follow the instructions given. Correctly executed first actions often make a difference to the outcome of the situation. Do not end a call until you have been authorised to do so Ending a call too early can delay the arrival of helpers. Once you have permission to end the call, hang up. Keep the line free. The dispatcher or on-site helper may need more information about what has happened.

Fire

Play - Perform a situation assessment. Rescue those in immediate danger - Be careful not to breathe smoke! The smoke is highly toxic and if inhaled will cause death very quickly.Warn - Warn others in the building of the fire and the imminent danger - Direct people to the assembly point.Alert - Call 112 from a safe place - Tell them who you are, where the fire is (address and floor), what is burning and if people are in danger - Do not hang up until you get permission.

Extinguish - If possible, carry out the initial extinguishing operation. - A grease fire is extinguished by smothering it with a fire blanket. - In the case of an electrical appliance fire, switch off the power to the appliance, then you can start the initial extinguishing operation. Restrict - Remove nearby flammable objects and flammable substances. - Limit the spread of the fire and smoke by closing the windows and the door of the dwelling when you leave. Organise - Guide emergency personnel to the scene or arrange for guidance. Example: one person guides at the edge of the car park and another at the side of the building. In the event of an evacuation, the assembly point is: $(assembly point)

Sickness or accident

Check and check - What has happened?- Check the person's condition (waking up, breathing).Administer first aid if necessary - Turn the unconscious but breathing patient to the side - If the person is not breathing, start first aid according to your skills.Call an emergency - Call 112 - Tell us where you are calling from. $(street address), $(postal code)- Tell what has happened. - Follow the instructions. - Report any changes in the patient's condition to the emergency centre.

Basic adult resuscitation

Identifying cardiac arrest - CPR should be started on any unresponsive patient - who is not breathing - whose breathing is not normal - loud/corny and irregular breathing in an unresponsive person indicates cardiac arrest Emergency notification - Emergency notification should be made immediately to the public emergency number 112 - if the person is unresponsive - if the person is not breathing normally - If you are resuscitating a person alone - put the phone on speakerphone - you can resuscitate and listen to the instructions from the emergency centre CPR - CPR should be started as soon as possible - the pressure point is the lower part of the sternum - the base of the palm of one hand on the pressure point and the other hand over it - it is recommended to change the pressure reliever every 2 minutes (if possible) - Begin resuscitation with 30 compressions Puffing resuscitation - Alternate between 30 compressions and 2 puffs - Blow two calm puffs lasting about one second - chest should rise and fall with the puffs - If puffing fails, continue to push without interruption

Activities at the meeting place

Meeting place: $(meeting place)
Kokoontumispaikka
Meeting place
</div>

Depending on the situation, consideration should be given to whether it is safe to remain at the designated assembly point or whether people should be directed elsewhere, for example to a nearby property.

Things to remember at the assembly point: - take care of any injured people, notify the emergency services - take care of people with reduced mobility or other disabilities - notify the emergency services if you know someone is trapped inside Secondary assembly point $(backup assembly point) If the assembly point is not safe, move to a safer location (further away from the building or temporarily to a nearby building). If necessary, the authorities will designate shelters for longer-term shelter.

Assisting a person with reduced mobility in an emergency

It can be difficult and slow for people with reduced mobility to leave the building in an emergency. If you know of people with reduced mobility living next door, such as disabled, blind or elderly people, you should also try to ensure their safe exit in an emergency. If you know your neighbour is at home but you cannot help them to leave, inform the emergency services as soon as possible. Cooperate with other residents. Things to consider when helping a person with reduced mobility to leave - Help the person with reduced mobility to leave according to your own abilities - Listen to the person you are helping - Look after the person you are helping even after they have left.

Water damage

Instructions for action - Switch off the electricity at and near the leakage point - Stop the leak, e.g. by closing the water main shut-off or the furniture shut-off, if possible - Water main shut-off: $(water_main_shut-off) - In the event of water damage, immediately notify the maintenance call centre $(property_management_name), $(property_management_call_number).
- If necessary, contact the emergency number 112. If the water hazard threatens from outside the building - Notify the property management and, if necessary, the emergency number 112.

Power cuts

What to do during a power cut: - First check the fuses. If they are intact, find out if your neighbour's or neighbouring houses' electricity is working.- If the power goes out over a wider area, the fault is already known and remedial action has been taken. Most electricity suppliers will have a recorded fault message on their fault service number telling you of a known power cut in your area. - If, when the power comes back on, the electricity is behaving strangely, for example the lights are brighter or dimmer than normal, this could be due to a broken neutral wire in the electricity network. This can result in equipment damage, fire and, in the worst case, electric shock. In these situations, turn off the main power switch and call your electricity supplier's emergency services.- In the event of a prolonged power cut, be prepared with warm clothing, especially in winter, and a home reserve if necessary. The fridge and freezer will go out and should be avoided if they are opened to prevent food spoilage. The water supply may be cut off during a power cut, the refrigerator and freezer will shut down and should be avoided to prevent food spoilage - the water supply may be interrupted during a power cut as the water supply pumps are powered by electricity. It is not always possible to provide information in advance. You can find out about anticipated power cuts by following the information provided by the authorities, for example via YLE.

General danger sign

A general danger signal is a one-minute rising and falling sound signal or a warning sounded by an authority. The duration of the rising and falling periods is 7 seconds. A general danger signal indicates an imminent danger to the public. The warning is given by a fixed outdoor alarm system in built-up areas and by mobile alarms mounted on the vehicle outside built-up areas. The Overdanger sign is a steady sound signal of one minute duration. It is an indication that the threat or danger has passed. This is what to do when you hear the general danger signal - Go inside - Stay inside - Close doors, windows, vents and air conditioning - Turn on the radio and wait for instructions - Avoid using the telephone to avoid blocking the lines - Do not leave the area without being advised by the authorities so as not to endanger yourself en route.

Gas risk

A general hazard warning is issued for gas hazards For more information on the nature of the hazard, you can listen to the radio and television or use your mobile phone. If you are indoors and smell gas: - stay indoors - upper floors are the best protection - put a wet garment over your mouth and breathe through it - stay on upper floors until the danger is over.
- If you are outside when you smell gas and cannot get inside: - hurry under the gas cloud to a side wind - aim as high as possible, for example on a hill - put a wet garment, grass, peat or moss in front of your mouth and breathe through it. Additional information to protect yourself from gas - Stop air conditioning and close doors and windows tightly. The tighter you make the building, the slower the gas will penetrate.- You can also close and tape interior doors and stay downwind. If you smell the gas, you can breathe through a damp, porous cloth. - The authorities will announce on the radio or loudspeakers when the toxic cloud has dissipated. Then ventilate the interior carefully.

Radiation hazard

The radiation situation is constantly monitored throughout the country by means of gauges. Even small changes are detected immediately and reported without delay. A general danger signal will be issued. Go indoors Sheltering indoors is the first line of defence in the event of a radiation hazard. Close doors, windows, vents and ventilation tightly to prevent radioactive substances from entering. The central parts of the house offer the best protection. Iodine tablets Taking iodine tablets is a secondary measure recommended for people up to 40 years of age and pregnant women. Take iodine tablets only on the advice of the authorities, which you will hear on the radio or television. Iodine tablets prevent the accumulation of radioactive iodine in the thyroid gland, but do not provide any other protection. In the event of an emergency, do not leave the building to retrieve the tablets. Iodine tablets can be obtained in advance from a pharmacy. There should be 2 iodine tablets per person. The Ministry of Social Affairs and Health recommends taking iodine tablets in the event of a radiation hazard due to a nuclear accident for people up to 40 years of age and pregnant women. Protect your food and drinking water Put exposed food in plastic bags or leak-proof containers. Refrigerators, freezers and leak-proof containers protect against radioactive dust. Walking in the open If you have to go outside, wear tight, skin-covering clothing, such as rainwear. Take off your clothes on entering the hallway and wash carefully. Wear a respirator, towel or paper towels to prevent radioactive particles from entering your lungs. Further advice Further advice can be obtained from the emergency services in your town, the media and on page 867 of the Finnish Broadcasting Corporation's Text-TV. Information is also available on the Radiation and Nuclear Safety Authority's website www.stuk.fi and on the rescue services' website www.pelastustoimi.fi.

Civil defence

This property does not have its own civil defence shelter. The property is part of the general civil defence district. Rescue operations are dependent on regional population protection. Rescue operations are also prepared to operate in exceptional conditions. The core tasks are detecting threats and warning about them, maintaining ability to protect the population and taking care of rescue operations and the required additional resources. The objective is the most efficient operation possible in accident situations under exceptional circumstances.

The area rescue authorities work together with the municipalities in the area on civil defence and protection matters. The rescue authorities also ensure their own organisation's preparedness for civil defence in exceptional situations. In civil defence, the necessary rescue, first aid, ambulance, and maintenance set-ups are created only in exceptional circumstances. In these tasks, there are approximately 85,000 people nationwide.

There are 110,000 spaces altogether in the civil defence shelters of Finland. The authorities will give directions via radio if you are supposed to move to a civil defence shelter, along with the information to which shelters people are supposed to go. 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.

The civil defence shelter nearest to the property is Lippumäen kalliosuoja and it is located at:
