Safety and crisis management

It is your obligation to address dangerous situations if you become aware of such and to act in a crisis.

Immediate action in a crisis

In an acute crisis situation at Arcada:

• Always call the general emergency number 112
• Tell them who you are and what has happened.
• Give the address (Arcada, Jan-Magnus Janssonin aukio 1), floor and any other specific information
• Don’t hang up until you are given permission to do so
• Inform the information desk of the situation
• Meet the emergency personnel

Security reports

Arcada's safety reporting tool External link allows you to report observations, incidents, accidents, threats or inappropriate behaviour that affect safety and the environment at Arcada. It is important that you report all event so that we can prevent bigger accidents and investigate incidents.

The tool has several different categories for reports. It is possible to attach images to the reports.

The reports are primarily handled by our Head of Security, but the different categories have different responsible persons. All reports are treated confidentially and anonymously.

Remember that there is no such thing as an unnecessary report - however, there can be serious consequences if you do not report things you have reacted to.

Crisis management team

Arcada's rector leads the crisis management team, which continuously works with safety at Arcada. At Arcada there are also appointed block managers, who are responsible for the safety of the six blocks. In case of a crisis situation, such as fire, accidents, medical emergencies or threatening persons and situations, you must follow the instructions of the block manager. In a crisis, the block manager wears a yellow vest. The Head of Security wears an orange vest.
