Environmental Protection

Lupapiste.fi (in Finnish)

In the event of an event causing noise or other disturbance, residents and other persons affected by the activity must be informed in advance (source, duration, nature and contact details of the person responsible for the event). The organiser of the event must pay particular attention to noise-sensitive areas such as care facilities, schools and churches. Noise must be prevented from spreading outside the event area, for example by using fixed structures or terrain. In addition, the sound level of the event must be kept at a reasonable level and loudspeakers must be directed in such a way as to avoid unnecessary noise spread.

It is advisable to contact the Environmental Inspector in advance to obtain the necessary instructions. The inspector can also be consulted on the fulfilment of the requirements.
