The indoor air of the police station drove 12 police to a few square booths
Rovaniemi|Police interviewed by HS feels that workers’ concerns about the indoor air at the Rovaniemi main police station have not been taken seriously.
The abstract is made by artificial intelligence and checked by man.
Indoor air problems at the Rovaniemi main police station have forced 12 police to work in a small site carriage.
According to the field police, the wagon has incomplete working areas and the worry’s concerns have not been taken seriously.
Esa Heikkinen, Police Chief of Lapland, says that almost half of the 200 employees have indoor air symptoms.
Construction of the new police station is seen as the only holistic solution, but the decision on funding is still missing.
Rovaniemi There is a small site trolley in the yard of the main police station. It serves as a working and break space for 12 police officers who cannot work at the station for health reasons.
The reason is the station in the indoor air, says a field -working police officer working for the Lapland Police Department. He does not appear in his name because it could cause him problems in the workplace. The identity of the police is known to the delivery.
According to the field police, the old building has had longer indoor air problems. For him, the symptoms began when the police moved to another wing of the building in 2022.
« I got an inflammatory condition as if it was always in pain, but I was not in fever. The symptoms were fatigue, tingling and drying the eyes, and drying the face. »
The occupational physician recommended that the field police would no longer stay indoors. At least 11 other police officers have received the same recommendation. Initially, the indoor air suffered without interior.
« We were for 15 months without break rooms, in the police car in practice. Then we got a four or five-square-meter site for working space. »
Station’s indoor air problems and working in a site trolley has told Recently Lapland People’s Magazine.
Although There is a lot of field work, indoors are needed, police tell HS.
According to the field police, it would be important to have storage space for goods, toilet and shower facilities, and break, work and social facilities.
The site trolley has a table, four chairs, a refrigerator and a microwave. There is no toilet and running water, not to mention the storage space, the field police says.
« You have to go to the toilet in the tube, in the oldest and most filthy part of the building. Breaks are spent in the booth. You can’t take a shower, you can’t store clothes anywhere. »
Not all cops can fit in the booth at the same time.
« For example, when we have six, we have to giggle with breaks because we can’t go at the same time. »
In the summer, the booth door can be kept open, in the winter because of the cold. There are also problems with the booths in the booth, says the Field Police.
Police governmentSenate Properties and the Lapland Police Department started a project to get an evasive container in connection with the police station last year. Agreements on container costs are made by the Senate Properties and the Police Board.
However, the project has been hampered by the narrowing of the courtyards and the safety requirements for police work, says Lapland Police Chief Esa Heikkinen.
« When the container was purchased, the Lapland Police Department acquired a temporary interim site for a mobile trolley, where staff can also do writing.
In April, containers were delivered to the police department, but according to Heikkinen, they were « quality » that they could not be introduced for those with indoor air symptoms.
“They weren’t clean enough. We asked the journalist to replace them,” says Senate Properties Regional Director of Northern Finland Lauri Peltonen.
Field police According to many people still working at the station, they receive symptoms of indoor air and use medication to alleviate them.
Also, according to the police chief, nearly half of the Rovaniemi Police Department’s status has some symptoms suggesting indoor air problems.
Senate Properties According to Peltonen, before the police, the tax administration worked on the same premises, which, as a savings measure, moved to other premises. Although the former user had not reported indoor air problems, the Senate Property proactively commissioned research and repairs to the space.
« Because it was known that the police would come from the premises where they had indoor air challenges. »
According to Peltonen, the issue is complicated by the fact that there has been no explanatory factor for staff symptoms in the studies on the property. In the same building, the Lapland ELY Center, whose employees have not experienced indoor air problems, adds Peltonen.
Lapland has been on for a longer period of time planned New police station, Yle has said. Until then, the best solution for the Field Police would be to build a « container village or station » for the entire plant staff, or spacious barracks with a normal status framework.
