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
A risk assessment has been carried out as part of the preparation of the emergency plan and is presented in this chapter. A hazard is a factor or circumstance that can cause harm or bring about an adverse event. Risk is the combined effect of the probability of harm associated with a threat and the severity of the consequences. In this case, the probability of the hazard occurring and the severity of the consequences have been assessed verbally. Measures and preventive actions have also been set out for each hazard.
Hazards:
Fire
Water damage
Storm damage and other weather-related hazards
External hazards (radiation and gas hazards)
Interruptions or malfunctions in the supply of electricity, water or district heating
Accident, robbery or burglary.
|
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 can cause a medical attack. Accidents can also occur in connection with activities (accidents at work) |
Potential personal injury and property damage. Electrical equipment accidents usually involve a risk of fire. | Staff should report any deficiencies they find immediately 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 goods in passageways, building walls or electrical rooms. Waste shall be properly sorted. 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 areas to allow the rescue and emergency services to operate on site. |
|
Accidents, thefts For example, 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 left open/unlocked during passage. 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. Electricity, water or heat supply disruptions are unlikely, but operators should be prepared for them. In the event of a prolonged outage, it is not safe to use the premises, so staff should also leave. In the event of an outage, there may also be problems with heating, drainage and water supply, so that operations may not even be meaningful (evacuation of the premises). After a power cut, it is always ensured that the building and security systems and operational equipment are in working order (e.g. lighting, exit signs, cash desks) |
|
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 system, reporting deficiencies (leaks, water damage), 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. |
|
Charging electric cars A fire caused by the charging of an electric vehicle or a fire originating from an electric vehicle. |
Property damage, possible personal injury. In an electric car, the battery in particular burns strongly and is difficult to extinguish, so there is a possibility of fire spreading. | Electric vehicles may only be charged at designated and electrically safe charging points. Cars may not be charged from normal wall sockets or old temperature sockets unless they are approved for that purpose. The charging points are equipped with technical safety solutions to prevent dangerous situations. |
Conclusions of the hazard and risk assessment
Typical hazards and risks are usually caused by human activity or faulty equipment, so daily attention to safety can easily prevent fires and other incidents.
The owner and occupier of the site and the operators contribute to keeping the building and its surroundings in good condition, and the following requirements are met:
the risk of fire ignition, deliberate ignition and spreading is low
in the event of fire or other sudden danger, persons in the building are able to leave the building or can be rescued by other means
rescue operations are possible in the event of a fire or other accident
Excess goods shall not be stored at the edges of the building or in passageways. In particular, escape routes and fire-fighting equipment must be kept unobstructed. Staff should immediately report any deficiencies they find so that they can be rectified.
Safety procedures

| Location | Extinguishing equipment | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Kiinteistössä | Fire blanket | Tarkemmat paikoitukset ovat liitteessä olevissa turvakuvissa. |
| Kiinteistössä | Fire extinguisher | Pääasiassa kuuden kilon käsisammuttimia, sähkötilojen edessä on hiilidioksisisammutin (5kg). Tarkemmat paikoitukset ovat liitteessä olevissa turvakuvissa. |
| Kiinteistössä | Fire hydrant | 30 metrin letkukeloja. Tarkemmat paikoitukset ovat liitteessä olevissa turvakuvissa. |
- at least yearly when the extinguisher is subjected to factors affecting its operational ability, such as moisture, vibration or fluctuations in temperature (outdoor areas)
- at least once every two years (indoor areas)
- The functionality of the rapid fire hydrants should be checked every year. A pressure test for the rapid fire hydrant hoses should be performed at five-year intervals.
Safety equipment
Sprinkler equipment
The sprinkler system is an automatic fire extinguishing system which starts extinguishing a fire by spraying water at the location of the fire and, at the same time, passes on a fire alert to the emergency centre. The functioning of the equipment is based on the principle that when the temperature exceeds a certain level, the capsule of the sprinkler breaks and water is released to flow through the sprinkler.
The sprinkler equipment is maintained according to the maintenance plan. The equipment is tested monthly and inspected every other year.

- Connection to the emergency centre
- An on-call person to supervise the fire alarm centre
- An on-call person makes the emergency notification if needed and guides the rescue department to the site of fire
Fire compartmentalisation
The purpose of fire compartmentalisation is to limit the spread of smoke and fire and to secure safe exiting. For this reason, it is very important that the fire doors are kept closed. Fire doors must not be wedged open.
Spaces which differ from each other fundamentally in terms of usage or fire load are divided up into separate fire compartments, if it is necessary for the protection of property or personnel. (usage way compartmentalisation)
| Building | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Nokian Palloiluhalli | Usage method compartmentalisation | Kohteen palo-osastointi on pääasiassa suunniteltu kestämään ja estämään palosta syntyvien kaasujen ja lämmön etenemistä osastojen välillä 60 minuutin ajan. (EI60). |
Rescue route
The rescue way is a drive way, which the rescue department's vehicles can use in emergency situations to reach to within close proximity of the building.
- It is not permitted to park cars, pile up snow, set up lampposts, plant vegetation, or do, leave, or set up anything else that might block traffic on the rescue way.
- Escape routes must be indicated with a text sign in accordance with Ministry of the Interior decree no. 468 of 2003.
- A rescue way sign is not used if the rescue way is not marked in the building's construction permits.
- Please contact rescue authorities for advice on any escape route questions.
| Location | Kohteen pihat, ajo Kankaantaankadulta kohteelle. |
|---|---|
| Description | Ajoradoilla on merkinnät pelastustiestä |
Emergency exit routes
The principle of exit safety is that all spaces of the building must haveat least two exit routes at all times which do not require keys or othertools to open the doors. Doors are not to be kept double-locked during working hours. Objects are not to be stored in front of the exits.
There are the following types of evacuation procedure in the property:
| Building | Evacuation procedures |
|---|---|
| Nokian Palloiluhalli | Kohteen poistumisreitit on valaistu. Kohteesta poistutaan käytetään näitä. Kenttä yhdestä voidaan poistua ylemmälle tasolle, jos katsomot on vedetty esiin. |
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.
The fire alarm system tender must take care of any deactivations needed so that the hot work or other refurbishment work does not cause an unnecessary fire alarm.
Any possible fire alarm system deactivations are to be fixed.
Evacuation procedures
- In an emergency situation, exiting will be led and directed by
- Paikalla oleva henkilökunnan jäsenistö tai tapahtuman johto
- When and where to exit?
- Kohteen tiloista poistutaan käyttäen lähintä merkattua poistumisreittiä pitkin. Ulkona siirrytään välittömästi kokoontumispaikalle.
- What has to be closed?
- Väli-ovet, ja ulko-ovilla on varmistuttava, että kukaan ei yritä enää takaisin sisälle
- What has to be done and who does it before exiting?

Things to remember at the assembly point:
- take care of any injured people, inform the emergency services
- take care of people with reduced mobility or other disabilities
- inform the emergency services if you know someone is trapped inside
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.
After a power cut
- when the premises are taken into use, ensure that all equipment is working correctly
- e.g. lighting, computers/workstations, ventilation
- if there are problems with the functioning of electrical equipment, contact the maintenance service immediately
Water damage
Toimintaohjeet
- Katkaise sähköt vuotokohteesta ja sen läheisyydestä.
- Tyrehdytä vuoto esim. sulkemalla veden pääsulku tai kalustesulku, jos mahdollista.
- Veden pääsulku: Lämmönjakohuoneessa ovesta vasemmalla seinustalla kulman takana
- Kylmäveden päärungon käyttövedessä on sulkuventtiili, joka tulee sulkea silloin, jos havaitaan vuoto. Mutta on myös ehto, että jos klo 1-6 välillä aamulla päästetään 10 l vettä, niin sulkuventtiili menee kiinni. Palotilanteessa saa siis palopostikaapista 10 l vettä em. aikana
- Vesivahinkotilanteessa ilmoita välittömästi huoltopäivystykseen Nokian Kiinteistöhuolto Oy 0503875033.
- Tarvittaessa ota yhteys hätänumeroon 112.

When violence is threatened
In an unarmed threat situation, do the following.
- Act calmly and try to reassure the person with your own behaviour.
- Make sure you do not turn your back or corner yourself so that you always have an escape route from the threatening person.
- If possible, ask for help.
- Run away and help others to escape from the scene
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.

The authorities provide instructions by radio if it is necessary to move to civil defence shelters and information on which of the public shelters people are to move to. Moving into the civil defence shelters therefore always happens as a result of direction by the authorities. Accidents occurring in normal times do not generally ever require taking cover in civil defence shelters, with taking cover indoors being sufficient. There are 110,000 spaces altogether in the civil defence shelters of Finland.
