- the risk of the starting, intentional starting and spreading of a fire is slight;
- the people in the building can vacate the building in the event of fire or other sudden danger situation or they can be rescued in another way;
- rescue operations are possible in the event of fire or another accident;
- the safety of rescue personnel has been taken into account. (Rescue Act 379/2011, Section 9))
The following equipment and devices must be kept in working order and serviced and inspected appropriately:
- extinguishing, rescue and prevention equipment;
- devices that facilitate extinguishing and rescue work;
- fire detection, alarm and other devices signalling the risk of an accident;
- the lighting and signs of the exit routes;
- the equipment and devices of the civil defence shelters (Rescue Act 379/2011, Section 12))
The owner and holder of the building and the operator must, for their part:
- the starting of fires is to be prevented, as well as the arising of other hazardous situations;
- the protection of persons, property and the surroundings in danger situations is to be prepared for;
- the extinguishing of fires, and other such rescue measures that they are able to do independently, are to be prepared for;

Risk assessment
Pelastussuunnitelman laadinnan yhteydessä on tehty riskienarviointi, joka on esitetty tässä luvussa. Listattiin palovaaralliset kohteet ja tapaturmavaarapaikat. Pidettiin yhteispalavereja henkilökunnan, turvallisuussuunnittelijan, jäähallin pääkäyttäjän (Kuparikiekko), ja pelastusviranomaisten kanssa.
Arvioinnin pohjana käytettiin myös Porin jäähallien suojelusuunnitelmia.
Vaaralla tarkoitetaan tekijää tai olosuhdetta, joka voi aiheuttaa haittaa tai saada aikaan haitallisen tapahtuman. Riski on uhkaan liittyvän vahingon todennäköisyyden ja seurausten vakavuuden yhteisvaikutus. Tässä tapauksessa vaarojen tapahtumien mahdollisuutta ja seurausten vakavuutta on arvioitu sanallisesti. Vaaratilannekohtaisesti on esitetty myös toimenpiteet ja ennalta ehkäiseviä toimia.
Vaaratilanteet:
Tulipalo
Vesivahinko
Kaatuminen, liukastuminen, kompastuminen ja muut vastaavat tapaturmat
Myrskyvauriot ja muista sääoloista johtuvat vaarat, kuten talvella lumen tai jään putoaminen ihmisten tai omaisuuden päälle tai esimerkiksi piha-alueella puiden kaatuminen kovassa tuulessa
Ulkoiset vaarat, kuten liikenneonnettomuus lähialueella tai säteily- ja kaasuvaarat
Katkot tai häiriöt sähkön, veden tai kaukolämmön jakelussa
Ilkivalta, ryöstö tai murto.

Risk Causes |
Consequences | Actions and safety and security preparations |
|---|---|---|
|
Accident or illness For example, in winter, slipperiness can lead to falls or trips. Snow or ice can fall from the roof of a building. Personal illnesses, such as epilepsy or diabetes, can cause a medical attack. Accidents can also occur in connection with activities or, for example, when an electrical appliance fails. |
Potential personal injury and property damage. Electrical equipment accidents usually involve a risk of fire. | Staff should immediately report any deficiencies they find, for example in slipperiness or lighting, to property maintenance. In winter, the building maintenance service will take care of preventing slippage and, if necessary, removing snow and ice from the roof. Staff should ensure that exit routes from the premises remain passable and that technical areas are accessible without obstruction. In outdoor areas, care is taken to ensure that, for example, vehicles are parked only in designated areas to allow the rescue and emergency services to operate on site. |
|
Fire Statistically, the two biggest causes of fires in commercial buildings are human-induced fires or machinery/electrical equipment failure. Fire work is always a fire risk. |
Possible personal injury and damage to property. | Broken electrical equipment must not be used (risk of accident and fire). Do not store excess items in passageways or on the walls of the building. Also, no extra items are to be stored in electrical rooms. Waste must be properly sorted at the waste disposal point. Any fire work will be carried out in accordance with the fire permit process. In outdoor areas, care will be taken to ensure that vehicles, for example, are parked only in designated spaces to allow the emergency services and first aid to operate on site. |
|
Accidents, vandalism, theft Possible acts of vandalism include graffiti, breaking windows or furniture, or arson. |
The result is mainly minor property damage. An ignited object (e.g. burning material on the wall of a building) may spread into a larger fire, with more serious consequences. | Adequate lighting in outdoor areas and at entrances. Any signs of vandalism (e.g. work scratches) are repaired as soon as possible after discovery. Avoid keeping unnecessary fire loads on building walls and inside the building. Ensure that doors are not accidentally left open/unlocked during passage, e.g. a warehouse door. Notification of deficiencies in locks and lighting. |
|
Power cuts, water leaks or other technical problems in buildings Sudden or planned power or other technical outages. Broken equipment, such as ventilation equipment or water leaks. |
Broken building services usually cause only temporary damage. If unnoticed, a water leak can escalate into a larger water damage. A sudden power cut is usually short and electricity is restored quickly. If the outage is prolonged, operations may not be able to continue safely. | Any broken building services or leaking water fixtures should always be reported directly to the building maintenance department. In the case of water leaks, water fixtures also have line blockages, which should be closed immediately if possible to prevent major damage. Electricity, water or heat supply disruptions are unlikely, but operators should be prepared for them. It should be agreed in advance how to evacuate premises in the event of a power cut, for example. In the event of a prolonged outage, it will not be safe to use the premises, so staff should also be evacuated. Heating, drainage and water supply may also be affected, making it impossible to carry out any meaningful activities. |
|
Water damage Possible causes are usually freezing, blockages or equipment failure. External causes include storms and flooding (heavy rain, melting snow). |
Potential property damage | Servicing and maintaining the building's plumbing and heating systems, reporting any deficiencies, keeping rainwater drains in good condition. |
|
Kaasuvaara in the vicinity This could be caused by an accident involving the transport of chemicals on nearby transport routes or a fire at a neighbouring property. |
Possible personal injury and property damage as a result. | Comply with the authority's emergency messages, which may come via SMS, TV or internet, or ultimately through the emergency services' loudspeakers. The main action is usually to close the ventilation and shelter in place. |
|
Exceptional circumstances Radiological emergency or other serious incident in the vicinity. |
Possible injuries, sheltering inside, possible evacuation. | In exceptional situations, the authorities will act in accordance with their instructions. |
|
Hazardous or flammable substances Fire caused by dangerous substances stored or used on the premises. |
Damage to property, possible personal injury. Fire spread. | Toimija on vastuussa vaarallisten ja palavien aineiden asianmukaisesta säilyttämisestä sekä merkitsemisestä. Säilytystilojen läheisyydessä on suositeltavaa olla alkusammutuskalusto ja henkilökunta on koulutettava aineiden asianmukaiseen käsittelyyn. Palotilanteissa pelastuslaitosta tulee informoida aineista ja niiden sijainnista, erityisesti jos kyseessä on paineastioita, kuten kaasupulloja. |
Luonnonolosuhteiden vaikutukset kohteen toimintaan
|
Aineelliset vahingot tai henkilövahingot | Lumenpudotus säännöllisin väliajoin. Varoitetaan ihmisiä vaarallisista olosuhteista. |
Conclusions of the hazard and risk assessment
Riskikartoituksen pohjalta todettiin, että Jäähallin riskialttiimpia kohteita ovat suuret yleisötilaisuudet ja toisaalta hallin ollessa tyhjillään on olemassa monta palovaarallista kohdetta.
Tyypilliset vaarat ja riskit johtuvat yleensä ihmisen toiminnasta tai viallisista laitteista, joten päivittäisellä turvallisuuden huomioimisella voidaan helposti ennaltaehkäistä tulipaloja ja muitakin vaaratilanteita.
Ylimääräistä tavaraa ei tule säilyttää rakennuksen reunoilla tai kulkukäytävillä, erityisesti poistumisreitit tulee pitää kulkukelpoisina. Henkilökunnan tulee ilmoittaa havaitsemistaan puutteista välittömästi eteenpäin, kuten esimerkiksi rikkinäisestä valaistuksesta. Hätätilanteita varten tulee olla etukäteen sovittuna, miten tilat evakuoidaan.

Aluevalvoja poistuu itse viimeisenä ja ilmoittaa turvallisuusjohtajalle / pelastusviranomaiselle olevansa viimeinen poistuja osastolta / kerroksesta. |
Hot work
Hot work is defined as work in which sparks arise or in which naked flames or other heat sources are used and may cause a fire hazard. Such work includes e.g. oxyacetylene and arc welding, flame and arc cutting, disc cutting and metal grinding, which create sparks, as well as work involving the use of gas burners, other open fire or combustion air blowers. Alternative methods must always be considered for hot work due to the fire hazard it presents.
Carrying out hot work always requires a hot work licence. The person carrying out the hot work must have a valid hot work card.

Assembly point
If the assembly point is not safe, move to a safer location (further away from the building or temporarily to a nearby building). If necessary, the authorities will designate where to move.
Power cuts
Good to know during a power cut
- electrical appliances that were switched on should be switched off to avoid a fire hazard when the power comes back on
- the water supply may be interrupted during a power cut, as the water supply pumps are powered by electricity
The aim is to provide information in advance about anticipated power cut situations. It is not always possible to provide information in advance. You can find out about anticipated power cuts by following the information provided by the authorities, for example via YLE.
If a building is evacuated due to a power cut:
- calmly direct everyone on the premises out of the building, and instruct them to go home
- when leaving the building, ensure that the external doors are closed to prevent unauthorised persons from entering.

Take care of your own safety. Try to direct the threatening person to a place where they cannot be harmful to others. After the incident, report the incident to the police if necessary.
If the threatening person has a weapon, do the following.
- Do not resist.
- Do only what the threatening person tells you to do.
- If possible, try to warn others.
- After the incident, call 112. Listen to the instructions and act on them.
Any threat or observation of a possible threatening situation must be taken seriously and reported to the police immediately.
General danger sign
A general danger signal is a one minute rising and falling tone or a warning sounded by an authority. The duration of the rising and falling periods is 7 seconds. A general danger signal means an imminent danger to the public.
The danger over- signal is a steady sound signal of one minute duration. It is an indication that the threat or danger is over.
Here's what to do when you hear the general danger signal
- Go inside. Close the doors, windows and air conditioning.
- Turn on the radio and wait for instructions.
- Avoid using the telephone to avoid blocking the lines.
- Do not leave the area unless instructed to do so by the authorities.
Gas risk
A general gas hazard warning is issued
Take the following action
- If you are indoors and smell gas:
- stay indoors, go to upper floors, listen to the radio for more information
- Press a wet garment over your mouth and breathe through it
- If you are outside when you smell gas and cannot get inside:
- hurry under the gas cloud into a crosswind
- Get as high as you can, for example on a hill
More information on how to protect yourself from gas
- Stop air conditioning and close doors and windows tightly.
- You can also close and tape interior doors and stay downwind.
- If you smell gas, you can breathe through a damp, porous cloth.
- Authorities will announce on the radio or loudspeakers when the toxic cloud has dissipated. Then ventilate the interior carefully.
Radiation hazard
A general danger signal is issued for radiation hazards.
Go inside.
- Close doors, windows, vents and ventilation.
- The central part of the house offers the best protection. Take iodine tablets only on the advice of an authority. Follow the recommendations given.
Avoid going outdoors
Further information
For further advice, contact the emergency services in your town, the media and Yle Text-TV on page 867. You can also find information on the Radiation and Nuclear Safety Authority's website at www.stuk.fi and on the rescue services' website at www.pelastustoimi.fi.
Assistance in an emergency
It can be difficult and slow for people with reduced mobility to leave the building in an emergency. Try to help them as much as you can.
Things to consider when helping a person with reduced mobility to exit
- Assist the PRM to exit the building to the best of your ability.
- Take care of the person you have helped even after the exit.
Bomb threat
Bomb threats are often baseless and made by a disturbed person, but they should always be taken seriously and any threat should be reported to the police. The important thing is to maintain your composure and calm.
- When the threat comes over the phone
- Remain calm. Prolong the call.
- Take notes. Write the threat down verbatim.
- Ask questions.
> * Where is the bomb?
> * What does the bomb look like?
> * When will the bomb explode?
> * Why? - Pay attention to the caller's speaking style and tone of voice.
> * Are there any dialects or other distinctive features in his speech?
> * Is he agitated?
> * Does he read the message off the paper?
After the call, report it to 112. Follow the instructions given by the authorities.
Civil defence
This property does not have its own civil defence shelter. The property is part of the general civil defence district. Rescue operations are dependent on regional population protection. Rescue operations are also prepared to operate in exceptional conditions. Core tasks are detecting threats and warning about them and maintaining population protection possibilities, as well as taking care of rescue operations. The objective is the most efficient operation possible in accident situations under exceptional circumstances. The authorities will instruct on moving into civil defence shelters when so required.
The civil defence shelter nearest to the property is Uimahalli and it is located at:
Yhdyskatu29200 Harjavalta
