Safety is up to us all. It is important for everyone to know what to do in case of an emergency. It is particularly important for those who are responsible for the safety of others as well as themselves.
The Fire alarm at a medical care institution videos explain the basic things to note in case of a fire alarm at a medical care institution. How to locate the fire? Who should be evacuated and how? What else should you do?
The videos are intended to be used in training and as a basis for discussion in medical care facilities. The most important thing is to be familiar with the circumstances and instructions in your location, and to act accordingly. The actual training video lasts approximately 7 minutes, and it is completed by shorter videos about reacting to a fire alarm and evacuation using a bed and a rescue blanket. The videos are spoken and subtitled in Finnish, Swedish, and English.
The videos have been produced in cooperation by the Rescue Departments within the Helsinki Metropolitan Area. You can find them on the Helsinki Rescue Department YouTube channel.
If the staff at your institution have questions about fire safety or you would like to discuss fire safety training, please contact the rescue department in your area. You can find more information on the safety trainings provided by the Helsinki City Rescue Department here.
