Cracks in structures, leaking hand-held bidet showers, loose threshold strips and missing window seals. <\/span>Miia Pulkkinen<\/span><\/b>, service coordinator at Lassila & Tikanoja, has reported on these problems in addition to her cleaning work on the Finnish Institute for Health and Welfare\u2019s Tilkanm\u00e4ki and Kyt\u00f6suo premises in Helsinki.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Pulkkinen is one of Senate Properties\u2019 latest indoor air agents. Since the beginning of the year, Senate Properties has worked more closely than earlier with service providers in work environments and facilities to prevent indoor air problems. The person behind the idea is <\/span>Risto Rautiola<\/span><\/b>, Northern Finland Regional Director at Senate Properties.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201dOur own property managers don\u2019t visit the rooms as often as cleaners, who go round the facilities daily. Cleaning itself has a decisive impact on the indoor air conditions of the premises, in addition to which we want to motivate cleaners to take a closer look at their work environments. The aim is to get to grips as early as possible with problems that might evolve into bigger, more serious harm,\u201d Rautiola says.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cA cleaner\u2019s job description essentially includes monitoring the premises. In the event of any defects, these must be reported,\u201d Pulkkinen reflects.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Critical findings <\/span>rewarded<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

Miia Pulkkinen, service coordinator at Lassila & Tikanoja, and Pamela Fingerroos, cleaner and support services staff supervisor at the Finnish Institute for Health and Welfare\u2019s Tilkanm\u00e4ki premises. Indoor agents report all kinds of defects that might affect indoor conditions.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Pamela Fingerroos<\/span><\/b> is Lassila & Tikanoja\u2019s cleaner and support services staff supervisor for the Finnish Institute for Health and Welfare\u2019s Tilkanm\u00e4ki and Kyt\u00f6suo premises. The cleaners report their findings to her and she then records them in an electronic maintenance book. The reports are forwarded via the property manager to Senate Properties\u2019 indoor air team, who take a closer look at the observations where necessary.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cOur cleaners have excellent knowhow and are just the right people to report issues in various premises,\u201d Fingerroos says.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Senate Properties pays cleaners a \u20ac50 reward for observations of particular importance in the prevention of indoor air problems.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe reward has an effect and motivates a lower reporting threshold. In addition, the reward is symbolically important: it shows appreciation for the work our cleaners do and that we really do listen to them.\u201d<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

From a pilot to <\/span>a blueprint<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

Almost ten observations in the Tilkanm\u00e4ki and Kyt\u00f6suo have been rewarded this year. A total of thirty rewards nationwide were paid in May alone. There have been reports of stuffiness, drainage problems or darkened tile seams, for example.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe things that have been reported in my own unit have not been catastrophic, mostly just minor defects. Nevertheless, these defects would probably have developed into real problems had they not been put right,\u201d Pamela Fingerroos sums up.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The activities of indoor air agents have so far been a pilot, but by the end of 2019 will be expanded to become a blueprint in all premises Senate Properties manages and arranges cleaning services.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
