Felanvändning av spisar och spishällar, är den främsta dödsorsaken i elektriska hembränder. Den förbättrade brandanalysprocessen i Sverige möjliggör myndigheterna att gräva sig djurpare in på huvudorsakerna till bränderna.

Enligt Elsäkerhetsverket dog det mellan 14-18 personer i elbränder i Sverige år 2020. 9-11 av fallen berodde på vårdlös användning av spis och spishällar, och majoriteten av de omkomna var i 70-årsåldern eller äldre.

Myndigheten för samhällsskydd och beredskap (MSB) införde en ny analysprocess och ett nytt register över dödsfall orsakad av eldsbränder år 2020. Det nya registret ger oss en bättre uppfattning för orsakerna bakom dödsbränder. De senaste fynden av Elsäkerhetsverket visar att vårdlös användning av spis är den främsta orsaken till dödsfall i elektriska hembränder.

Andra nordiska länderna har väldigt liknande problem. T.ex. i Finland har vårdlös matlagning varit den främsta orsaken till bränder i hemmet nu i flera år. För att skydda de mest utsatta kräver Finland nu spisvakt på alla nya spisar och spishällar i äldre- och servicebostäder samt i lägenheter för särskilda grupper.

Norge är en pionjär inom brandsäkerhet, och där har spisvakten varti obligatoriska i alla nybyggda bostadshus sedan 2010. Spisvakter, elektriska brandvarnare och bättre samarbete mellan olika instanser har bidragit till minskad dödsfall orsakat ab bränder med nästan en tredjedel under de senaste tio åren.

Jan has a proven track record of increasing sales in both established companies, such as iCare Finland Oy, as well as start-ups.

“I had a good impression of the company and people in it already beforehand. I am thrilled to become part of this team in a growing Finnish company, which operates with life saving products already internationally. The growth potential is huge, and every device sold is helping to keep people safer in their homes” comments Jan.
