Työturvallisuusjohtaminen

työturvallisuus is a Finnish term that translates to "workplace safety" or "occupational safety" in English. It refers to the set of practices, regulations, and measures designed to prevent accidents, injuries, and illnesses in the workplace. The core principle of työturvallisuus is to ensure that employees can perform their tasks without undue risk to their health or well-being.

In Finland, työturvallisuus is governed by comprehensive legislation and enforced by various authorities. Employers have a legal responsibility to identify and assess potential hazards in their work environments and to implement appropriate control measures. This includes providing safe working conditions, adequate training, and necessary protective equipment. Employees also have a role in työturvallisuus by following safety procedures, reporting hazards, and using protective gear.

Key aspects of työturvallisuus include risk assessment, accident investigation, promotion of a safety culture, and continuous improvement of safety practices. The goal is to create a working environment where accidents are minimized and employee health is prioritized. This proactive approach not only protects individuals but also contributes to increased productivity and reduced costs associated with workplace incidents.
