Työterveysyhtiöt

Työterveysyhtiöt are companies in Finland that provide occupational healthcare services. These services are legally mandated for employers in Finland to ensure the health and safety of their employees. Työterveysyhtiöt offer a range of services aimed at preventing work-related illnesses and accidents, as well as promoting general well-being in the workplace.

The core services include health examinations tailored to specific job requirements, workplace assessments to identify and mitigate risks, and health promotion programs. Employers are required to arrange these services for their employees, contributing to the overall health and productivity of the workforce. The services are typically funded through a combination of employer contributions and public healthcare funding.

Beyond preventative measures, Työterveysyhtiöt also provide treatment for occupational diseases and injuries. They work in collaboration with employers to create a safe and healthy working environment, offering guidance on ergonomics, stress management, and rehabilitation. The goal is to support both the employee's health and the employer's ability to maintain a functional and productive workplace. The specific services offered can vary slightly between different työterveysyhtiöt, but the fundamental objective remains the same: to safeguard and enhance the health of the working population.
