Risks

Risks of the Property

Fire and explosion

Possible causes of fire can be for example defective electric devices, careless smoking, working methods that cause sparking and sparks from the equipment, flammable chemicals and chemical leakage. Fire within the property can cause personal injuries and extensive financial damage, as well as disturbances and interruptions of operations.

Arson

Prone objects for arson are vehicles and flammable materials nearby the property. Arson can spread to a major fire that can cause personal injuries and extensive financial damage, as well as disturbances and interruptions of operations. Even a minor beginning of a fire causes structural damages, hazardous situations to personnel as well as additional repair work.

Accidents

An occupational accident or a sudden attack of illness can happen to a student or staff member on the premises. Accidents can be caused by for example falling down, tripping, falling during repair or other work, work movements, heavy lifting, slipping on a chemical leak on the floor or a hazardous situation during a teaching situation. Accidents cause personal injuries, disturb the operation, financial expenses and absences from work.

Sabotage and vandalism

Staff members and students with individual access rights move within the property daily. Entrances are locked only at night, when the property can be entered with access permission. Possible sabotage and vandalism can cause major damage and interruption of operation, as well as hazardous situations for the students and personnel. The possibility of sabotage and vandalism is responded to with surveillance cameras. In addition, security is provided by a security company.

Theft and robbery

Reasons for theft or robbery can be, for example, need for money or interest in confidential information. The greatest possibility to encounter such an act is on a journey to and from work. Consequences for the victim can be mental and physical damages in addition to the financial losses or the loss of valuable information.

Bomb threat

Bomb threats can be caused by many reason. For example a disturbed person can direct his/her frustration towards all the people working and doing business in the property. A bomb threat causes mental suffering to all students and personnel, as well as financial expenses and disturb the normal operations.

Information security

An information leak or a malfunction in the information network are significant risks. Confidental information can fall into wrong hands if information security is jeopardized. Consequences can be financial expences as well as disturbances on operation of the entire facility.

Municipal infrastructure disruptions

Power cut

A power cut can be caused by a natural event such as a storm or lightning, but also electric failures and malfunctions, technological deficiencies or maintenance deficiences. Power cuts can cause risk of an electric fire, personal injuries, disturbances on and interruption of operation.

Water damage

Water damage can be caused by for example pipe breakage, freezing, blockage or machine damage. Water damage can cause excess water leakage or interruption of water flow to the facilities, and consequently restrictions for water use within the facilities.

Hazardous chemicals and gases

Chemicals can cause a health hazard as well as risk of accident, such as a fire or explosion. When entering soil, sewerage or waterbody, chemicals may cause an immediate or delayed danger to the environment.

Gas hazard in the property can be caused by the gases used in the property, such as gas cylinders, or by an external incident, for example an accident in transportation of hazardous substances near by. Consequences of a gas hazard can be for example danger of fire and explosion.

Radiation hazard

The propability of a nuclear emergency in Finland is very low. External radiation hazards can be caused by a domestic or foreign nuclear power plant accident, a fire or other accident in a facility that handles or stores radioactive material, or an accident in the transportation of radioactive material. The consequences of a nuclear accident are highly dependent on the source of the radiation, distance, environmental conditions and how the situation is responded to.

Environmental hazards

Environmental hazards can be caused by for example extinguishing wastewater leakage. Traffic causes a risk of accident to people moving on the premises, as well as an environmental risk by for example oil leakage from a traffic accident.

Personnel action in unexpected dangerous situations

In order to prepare for an unexpected dangerous situation it is important that the personnel is trained in co-operation with the Rescue Department. University personnel needs to know how to act in case of an emergency and how to guide the rescue department to the destination, and laboratory personnel needs to know how to exit the property. The rescue department needs to know about any facility within the premises that has special demands or function.

Fire doors and ordinary doors should be left closed.
Gathering area: Parking lot of Tamppi Areena

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.

Hot work licences can be granted by the following people responsible for hot work:

Ari Särkkä
Campusta Oy
phone 050 3471430
ari.sarkka@tuni.fi

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.

Smoking area

The Hervanta campus of the University of Tampere is smoke-free, where smoking is only allowed in designated areas. Efforts must be made to prevent tobacco smoke from entering the interior. The design of smoking areas outside must be based on a distance of about 10 meters from the building ́s structures from which tobacco smoke can penetrate the interior.

In order to increase safety and prevent fire, it is important to pay attention to the daily use of the smoking area:

  • There should not be anything flammable in the vicinity of the smoking area.
  • The holder of a smoking area shall display signs indicating a smoking ban and a smoking area.
  • Fire-safe ashtrays are to be used in smoking areas.
  • Burning or smoldering waste material must not be mixed with other waste materials.
  • Cigarette butts and ashes shall be sorted cold, thoroughly not smoldering and suitably packaged as mixed waste for landfill.

Smoking is prohibited for example in the following places:

  • in the indoor areas of agencies and authorities and comparable public bodies, that are reserved for the public and customers;
  • at public indoor events;
  • in the common, public and customer-use indoor areas of work communities;
  • in the canopies and auditoriums of public events held in outdoor areas and in other facilities intended specifically for the observation of the event, where participants stay put.

Waste management safety

Proper location, lighting, and locking of a property’s waste point can prevent accidents and reduce the risk of fire. Attention should be paid to waste containers and shelters and the routes leading to them. The waste point or the exit corridors of the property must not be used as storage facilities. Loose objects in the garbage shelter and next to the wall pose a safety risk and are good incendiary materials for the arsonist.

Waste components are to be sorted accordingly to the designated waste container, in a way that the waste container lid can be closed appropriately.

Waste container row and waste shelter are safe to place:

  • at least eight meters from the wall of the building;
  • in a locked space so that a possible fire in it does not endanger the fire safety of the actual building.

Location Two ventilation machinery rooms on top floors: old part room 302 and extension part room 301
Emergency stop switch location At the main entrance of the building (draught lobby 102) and at the extension part entrance (draught lobby 130)

Ventilation shutdown

If the property is subject to an external hazard, such as fire gases from an adjacent building, ventilation must be shut down. In this case, the rescue authority usually issues an emergency warning, which also provides further instructions and a request to shut down the ventilation.

In an emergency situation, the ventilation must be shut down entirely, with a clearly marked stop switch. The stop switch must be placed in an easily accessible location.

Action guidelines

Instructions can be found on the front page of the Rescue Plan, under the title ”Action guide”.

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.

Informing and orientation

The Decree of the Government on Rescue Services (407/2011, Section 2) obliges as follows: "A rescue plan is to be kept up to date and it must be communicated in the necessary way to the persons of the relevant building or other site, who are obliged to take part in executing the rescue plan." The Rescue Plan and the most significant contents of it are to be informed to all personnel working in the property.

Orientation and informing: Managers are responsible for safety orientation. Safety organization supports the orientation. The Rescue Plan is also presented as a part of the orientation materials and safety materials of the organization.

Safety training: Safety organization organizes safety trainings regularly and according to specific needs. Execution of the Rescue Plan is trained in practice by organizing evacuation drills for everyone who use the property.

Communicating in a crisis: In a time of crisis, the top management and the Communications unit will oversee all communication activities and agree on related responsibilities to ensure that accurate information is provided as quickly and widely as possible. Only the top management or a person formally authorised to represent the University (such as a head of unit) may make statements on the University’s behalf. The causes and effects of an accident or crisis may only be reported by the public authorities or those authorised by them to do so. Visit the intranet to stay up to date in the event of a crisis. Depending on the type of crisis, information may also be provided to staff and students via text message, email, the University’s website or social media channels.
