Työkohteet

Työkohteet is plural of työkohde, a Finnish term used to refer to locations where work is carried out. In everyday language, a työkohde is the concrete worksite or project location, such as a construction site, manufacturing plant, service location, or customer site. The term is common in employment contracts, temporary staffing, and project management; it describes where the employee or contractor performs tasks, which may differ from the employer's registered address or official workplace.

Role in employment and contracts: In job postings or assignments, the työkohde is the reported work location. Some roles involve multiple työkohteet or travel between sites, which affects scheduling, compensation, and safety training.

Safety and regulation: The choice of työkohde has implications for occupational safety and health obligations. Employers must ensure appropriate training, equipment, and hazard assessment for each site, following national safety regulations and company policies.

Variations: Työkohde can refer to a single site or a defined project location; it is distinct from työpaikka (the general workplace) and toimipaikka (office or establishment). In human resources and contracting systems, työkohde data helps with logistics, travel allowances, insurance, and site-specific compliance.
