Lisätoimet

Lisätoimet is a Finnish noun meaning additional measures or actions taken to supplement existing plans, actions, or safeguards. The word combines lisä- meaning "additional" with toimet meaning "actions" and is commonly used in formal Finnish to describe steps introduced to address new information, changed circumstances, or observed deficiencies.

It is used across public administration, business planning, safety, and policy work. In risk management, lisätoimet are proposed when initial measures do not fully mitigate a risk, or when new risks arise. They can be temporary or long-term, and may involve new funding, reallocations of resources, or revised procedures.

Examples of usage include emergency response, where lisätoimet might involve extending shelter operations, increasing monitoring, or adjusting traffic patterns. In financial planning, they can refer to supplementary funding, revised allocations, or additional cost-control measures. In information security, lisätoimet could entail extra controls, audits, or user training beyond the baseline measures.

Relation to other terms: the phrase is often used alongside words such as suunnitelma or ohjelma to describe modifications or augmentations to existing plans or programs. It is not a fixed legal term with a universal definition; rather, it is a general expression found in governmental, corporate, and organizational documents to denote responsive or augmentative steps.
