Sabotage and vandalism
Staff members and students with individual access rights move within the property daily. Entrances are locked only at night, when the property can be entered with access permission. Possible sabotage and vandalism can cause major damage and interruption of operation, as well as hazardous situations for the students and personnel. The possibility of sabotage and vandalism is responded to with surveillance cameras. In addition, security is provided by a security company.
Theft and robbery
Reasons for theft or robbery can be, for example, need for money or interest in confidential information. The greatest possibility to encounter such an act is on a journey to and from work. Consequences for the victim can be mental and physical damages in addition to the financial losses or the loss of valuable information.
Bomb threat
Bomb threats can be caused by many reason. For example a disturbed person can direct his/her frustration towards all the people working and doing business in the property. A bomb threat causes mental suffering to all students and personnel, as well as financial expenses and disturb the normal operations.

| Location | Along the Korkeakoulunkatu street to the front yard of the building and around the building to the vicinity of sections B and C. Rescue roads are marked on the protection layouts. |
|---|
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 |
|---|---|
| Päärakennus building | Evacuation is conducted along the nearest safe exit route to the gathering area outside. In most cases the normal exit routes of the building are used as emergency exits. In addition, there are a few separate exits that are only used in emergency situations. When exiting, it must be noted that there are no other persons left in the room. Fire doors and ordinary doors should be left closed. |
Extinguisher water collection point
| Location | Fire hydrant is located in the outdoor area between the Kampusareena and Tietotalo 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. 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:
Ari SärkkäCampusta Oy
phone 0503471430
ari.sarkka@campusta.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.
Smoking area
The Hervanta campus of the University of Tampere is smoke-free, where smoking is only allowed in designated areas. Efforts must be made to prevent tobacco smoke from entering the interior. The design of smoking areas outside must be based on a distance of about 10 meters from the building ́s structures from which tobacco smoke can penetrate the interior.
In order to increase safety and prevent fire, it is important to pay attention to the daily use of the smoking area:
- There should not be anything flammable in the vicinity of the smoking area.
- The holder of a smoking area shall display signs indicating a smoking ban and a smoking area.
- Fire-safe ashtrays are to be used in smoking areas.
- Burning or smoldering waste material must not be mixed with other waste materials.
- Cigarette butts and ashes shall be sorted cold, thoroughly not smoldering and suitably packaged as mixed waste for landfill.
Smoking is prohibited for example in the following places:
- in the indoor areas of agencies and authorities and comparable public bodies, that are reserved for the public and customers;
- at public indoor events;
- in the common, public and customer-use indoor areas of work communities;
- in the canopies and auditoriums of public events held in outdoor areas and in other facilities intended specifically for the observation of the event, where participants stay put.
Waste management safety
Proper location, lighting, and locking of a property’s waste point can prevent accidents and reduce the risk of fire. Attention should be paid to waste containers and shelters and the routes leading to them. The waste point or the exit corridors of the property must not be used as storage facilities. Loose objects in the garbage shelter and next to the wall pose a safety risk and are good incendiary materials for the arsonist.
Waste components are to be sorted accordingly to the designated waste container, in a way that the waste container lid can be closed appropriately.
Waste container row and waste shelter are safe to place:
- at least eight meters from the wall of the building;
- in a locked space so that a possible fire in it does not endanger the fire safety of the actual building.

|---|---|
| Emergency stop switch location |
|
Ventilation shutdown
If the property is subject to an external hazard, such as fire gases from an adjacent building, ventilation must be shut down. In this case, the rescue authority usually issues an emergency warning, which also provides further instructions and a request to shut down ventilation.
In an emergency situation, the ventilation must be shut down entirely, with a clearly marked stop switch. The stop switch must be placed in an easily accessible location.
Action guidelines
Instructions can be found on the front page of the Rescue Plan, under the title ”Action guide”.
Civil defence
This property does not have its own civil defence shelter.
The property has a civil defence shelter at the addresses:
- Korkeakoulunkatu 1, Tietotalo
- Korkeakoulunkatu 3, Sähkötalo
- Korkeakoulunkatu 5, Rakennustalo
- Korkeakoulunkatu 5, Kalliosuoja (Bommari)
- Korkeakoulunkatu 7, Kampusareena
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.
Informing and orientation
The Decree of the Government on Rescue Services (407/2011, Section 2) obliges as follows: "A rescue plan is to be kept up to date and it must be communicated in the necessary way to the persons of the relevant building or other site, who are obliged to take part in executing the rescue plan." The Rescue Plan and the most significant contents of it are to be informed to all personnel working in the property.
Orientation and informing: Managers are responsible for safety orientation. Safety organization supports the orientation. The Rescue Plan is also presented as a part of the orientation materials and safety materials of the organization.
*Safety training: Safety organization organizes safety trainings regularly and according to specific needs. Execution of the Rescue Plan is trained in practice by organizing evacuation drills for everyone who use the property.
Informing in crisis situation: In a time of crisis, the top management and the Communications unit will oversee all communication activities and agree on related responsibilities to ensure that accurate information is provided as quickly and widely as possible. Only the top management or a person formally authorised to represent the University (such as a head of unit) may make statements on the University’s behalf. The causes and effects of an accident or crisis may only be reported by the public authorities or those authorised by them to do so. Visit the intranet to stay up to date in the event of a crisis. Depending on the type of crisis, information may also be provided to staff and students via text message, email, the University’s website or social media channels.
