Unsafe ..arenos... corrected
There are 318 fewer hazardous
arenas in. Ontario now than there
were one year ago; the Ontario
Ministry of Labour reports.
"The Arena Safety Program
has been successful in identifying
unsafe arenas and stimulating
owners to correct the hazard,"
Labour Minister Bette
Stephenson said recently. "our
effort to protect the, lives of those
who enjoy hockey; 'curling and
skating has been successful. "
"Most arena owners under the
program have been co-operative.
I am particularly gratified that
operators• of 84 arena vol un
teered for the program." ,
On December 17, 1975, owners
of arenas suspected of contra-
vening The Industrial Safety Act
were required to submit an
engineer's report on their facili,
ties, The Ministry has evaluated
these reports, and has communi-
cated with the owners regarding
compliance with The Industrial
Safety Act. Following the
consulting engineer's advice, in
some cases, requires that the
arena be closed because of its
unsafe condition.
To date, reports have been
received on 434 arenas, including
the 84 who voluntarily, submitted
reports. Of these, only 116 were
certified as complying with the
Act, while, 318 show structural
deficiencies. Corrective action
has been taken in all. 31$ cases --
repair, demolition or closure.
"The seriousness of the
problem identified by the
engineers' reports, confirms the
need for this program", The
Minister said. "The response of
the owners indicates their
concern for the safety of users of
their facilities."
Of the 318 which were unsafe,
69 show only minor structural
defects, ,while 249 have major
defects. In 34 of the 249 cases, the
owners were advised to demolish
the arena.
Of the remaining 215 cases, 112
are open during or pejiding
repair, under a strict monitoring
program established by an
engineer. Monitored - arenas
must close if snow or wind loads
threaten a collapse. Another 113
are closed while ' the owners
decide whether to close
permanently, repair, or demolish
and replace.
