A set of 21 working files that organise the duties of the Pelastuslaki (Säädöskokoelma 379/2011) into phases of open questions a business answers from its own records.

The Pelastuslaki (Säädöskokoelma 379/2011) sets duties for businesses that employ staff, keep premises, store or handle flammable materials, produce waste, run accommodation or assembly spaces, and install or maintain chimneys and ventilation. The toolkit's 21 working files walk through those duties by subject: the general duty of care, fire and rescue arrangements, prohibitions, upkeep and chimney sweeping, self preparedness, the emergency plan, exit safety, equipment procurement, and the submission of plans to the authority.

Later working files cover the duty to place resources at the authority's disposal, reporting and clarification duties, sweeping and maintenance obligations, the presentation of documents, and precautionary duties. Each working file carries the law's words exactly as the authority wrote them beside the duty it describes, so a business reads the statutory text and its own records side by side.

Sections are served through a connector inside Claude, and the documents that come back are dated compliance reports the business keeps in its own file. The toolkit never gives advice and never presents a perspective; it carries what the authority wrote, organised.

Which businesses does the Pelastuslaki reach?

The instrument reaches employers, operators of premises, businesses that store or handle flammable materials, waste producers, accommodation and assembly venues, and owners or keepers of chimneys and ventilation. The working files group the resulting duties by subject so a business can locate the ones that apply to its activities.

How are the 21 working files arranged?

Each working file takes one subject area of the instrument and turns its duties into open questions the business answers from its own records. The subjects run from the general duty of care and rescue arrangements through prohibitions, upkeep, self preparedness, emergency planning, exit safety and equipment procurement to the duties on documents and precautions.

What does a business receive at the end?

The documents that come back are dated compliance reports the business keeps in its own file. Each report records the answers the business gave from its own records against the duties the working files set out.

Where is the law's text shown?

The statutory text is carried verbatim beside each duty, so the business reads the provision and its own answer together. The wording stays exactly as the authority wrote it in Säädöskokoelma 379/2011.

How is the toolkit used?

Sections are served through a connector inside Claude. The business works through the open questions in each section and answers them from its own records, and the dated compliance reports are produced from those answers.

Does the toolkit tell a business what to do?

The toolkit never gives advice and never presents a perspective; it carries what the authority wrote, organised. A business reads the duties and the statutory text and decides for itself how its own records answer each open question.

Which duties concern the emergency plan and exit safety?

The working files cover the preparation of the emergency plan, the exit safety report, and the submission of the plan to the authority. They also cover the duty to place resources at the authority's disposal and the related clarification duties.

What do the working files say about chimneys and sweeping?

One working file addresses chimney sweeping before use and the intervals set for sweeping, and a later one covers sweeping duties more broadly. A further file addresses the duty to keep chimneys and related structures in repair.

Which duties apply to businesses handling hazardous materials?

The working files cover the prohibitions, the duty of care, the precautionary duties and the clarification duties that attach to the storage and handling of flammable and hazardous materials. The statutory text for each duty sits beside the open questions.

Can the toolkit be used without installing anything?

Sections are served through a connector inside Claude, so the business reaches the working files from within that environment. The dated compliance reports are kept by the business in its own file.
