Bomb threat

A bomb threat is often unfounded and made by a disturbed individual, but it should always be taken seriously, and each threat should be notified to the police. In this situation, it is important to keep calm.

If you receive a bombing threat call, remain calm and act in the following manner:

Listen calmly to the message of the person presenting the message:

  • What
  • Where
  • When
  • How
  • Who


  • Make precise notes during the call.
  • Make a clear notification of the call to the 112 emergency centre.
  • Without delay, make a clear notification regarding the call to the security personnel, who will assess follow-up measures.
  • Begin necessary actions in line with the orders you receive.

In situations which are serious or urgent, the whole building will be evacuated at once:

  • Move to the meeting point as per the directions.
  • Take a phone, key, rucksack and your essential personal effects with you.
  • At the meeting point, act according to the instructions you receive.

DO NOT TOUCH FOREIGN OBJECTS; LEAVE INFORMING ABOUT THESE FOR THE POLICE AND MANAGEMENT

A suspicious object or threatening letter

  • Do not touch the object.
  • If the item in question is a letter or other such object that you have handled, pay attention to the places you have touched and place the letter in a plastic pocket, for example.
  • Notify immediately the personnel responsible for safety and security on your premises and the property (cf. chapter on safety and security personnel) as well as the police at emergency number 112.
  • Isolate the area as well as possible. Keep in mind possible police investigations (fingerprints and footprints are first-class evidence).
  • Do not panic. Act according to the instructions from the police and the safety personnel.
