11. Power cut
The Facilities Officer or the service staff concerned, or, if necessary,
the Head of Security or Assistant Security Manager shall be informed
about a power cut in part of a building only (e.g. if a fuse has blown).
In case of a more extensive and long-lasting power cut, check that no
one is stuck in the lift, that e.g. chemicals or samples to be kept refrig-
erated do not get too warm or that the doors are opened for those who
need to get into the building.
(Flexim locks only work for a shorter period of time during a power cut).
12. Lifts
Lifts may stop due to a power cut or technical faults. Inside the lift
there is a press button which launches an alarm in the building, but is
also connected to a lift maintenance company on duty. Press the button
long enough to ensure that the alarm is launched and the control lamp
lights up. In connection with a power cut it may take some time for the
on-duty service to arrive, but you need not be afraid of the air running
out in the lift; neither should you try to get out of the lift by yourself
without professional help. The telephone number of the lift mainte-
nance company can be found outside or inside the lift in most cases.
13. Water leakage and water damage,
damages caused by a storm
Water damages should primarily be reported to the Facilities Officer of
the building concerned, and then to the Head of Security or Assistant
Security Manager, to be able to take actions to restrict the damages. In
connection with large water leakages or overflowing, an alarm shall be
immediately given to the fire brigade to pump off the water.
Regarding repairs, contact the service company in charge of the build-
ing or the Åbo Akademi University Endowment.
