Suosituksen perustelu

It seems that nobody is responsible for the Rescue Services’ risk evaluation instructions used by the Emergency Response Centres. These instructions have not been changed since their publication. Each rescue department of the Rescue Services area is responsible for these instructions, but the related change needs have not been coordinated nationally.

Recommendation

Emergency Response Centre risk assessment instructions should be continuously updated and a national operator responsible for the instructions should be assigned.

Suosituksen tarkennus

The instructions should be changed to better support the selection of the task class most probably suited to the accident type in question.
