Turvallisuudessa

Turvallisuudessa is the inessive form of turvallisuus in Finnish, used to mean “in safety” or “in terms of security.” The term denotes the state of being protected from harm and the practice of maintaining that protection. As a concept, it encompasses physical, informational, and social dimensions of safety, as well as broader societal resilience.

The scope of turvallisuudessa covers multiple domains. Physical safety includes occupational safety and public safety, while informational safety and cybersecurity address protection of data and systems. Environmental, product, and psychosocial safety are also part of the picture. Effective turvallisuudessa relies on a cycle of risk assessment, prevention, preparedness, protection, response, and recovery, all supported by a safety culture that values proactive planning, training, and reporting.

In practice, turvallisuudessa is supported by standards and regulation. International standards such as ISO 45001 for occupational safety, ISO 27001 for information security, and ISO 22301 for business continuity provide frameworks for management systems. In Finland, national legislation like Työturvallisuuslaki governs workplace safety, while data protection rules such as the GDPR influence information security practices. Public safety policy involves coordination between municipalities, rescue services, and critical infrastructure protection to enhance resilience.

Organizations implement safety plans, risk reduction measures, incident reporting, and periodic audits to maintain turvallisuudessa. The concept is widely used in policy discussions, enterprise risk management, and educational contexts to emphasize prevention and preparedness as core elements of safeguarding people, assets, and information.
