toimenpidekortti

A toimenpidekortti, often translated as an action card or task card, is a document used in occupational safety and health to detail the specific steps, precautions, and protective measures required for a particular task or operation. It serves as a standardized tool to ensure that potentially hazardous work is performed safely and correctly.

The primary purpose of a toimenpidekortti is to prevent accidents and injuries by clearly outlining the risks associated with a job and the corresponding control measures. It breaks down complex or dangerous tasks into manageable, sequential steps, providing guidance on how to execute each step safely. This includes identifying necessary personal protective equipment (PPE), required tools, safe work procedures, emergency protocols, and any necessary permits or authorizations.

Toimenpidekortit are typically developed by safety professionals in collaboration with workers who perform the tasks. They are often visually oriented, using diagrams, checklists, and clear, concise language to maximize understanding. They are usually specific to a particular machine, process, or work environment.

The use of toimenpidekortit is a proactive safety measure that contributes to a safer workplace culture. By providing readily accessible information on safe work practices, they empower employees to perform their duties responsibly and minimize the likelihood of incidents. They are an integral part of many industrial and construction safety management systems.
