Recommendation

The Ministry of Social Affairs and Health should, together with the Association of Finnish Local and Regional Authorities, develop common practices for different sectors of municipalities for the purpose of ensuring the fire safety of social welfare clients with reduced functional capability. At least, fire detection devices, emergency exit routes and fire compartmentation between flats must be organised appropriately. The public support decisions should promote the safety of residence and living environment.
