Työsuojeluhallinto

Työsuojeluhallinto refers to the occupational safety and health administration in Finland. It is a governmental entity responsible for supervising and promoting the enforcement of laws and regulations related to occupational safety and health. The primary goal of Työsuojeluhallinto is to prevent work-related accidents, occupational diseases, and other health hazards in the workplace.

The administration operates through regional occupational safety and health districts, which conduct inspections, provide guidance, and offer advice to employers and employees. These districts investigate workplace accidents and near misses to identify causes and recommend preventive measures. They also monitor compliance with legislation, investigate complaints, and can issue orders or penalties if violations are found.

Työsuojeluhallinto plays a crucial role in fostering a safe and healthy working environment for all employees in Finland. Its activities include developing and disseminating information on occupational safety and health, training employers and workers, and collaborating with other stakeholders, such as trade unions and employer organizations, to improve working conditions. The administration's work contributes to reduced accidents, improved well-being, and enhanced productivity in the Finnish labor market.
