turvallisuuskortti

Turvallisuuskortti, often translated as safety card or safety passport, is a Finnish system designed to enhance occupational safety in workplaces. It is a voluntary training and certification program that aims to ensure that individuals working on a construction site or in other potentially hazardous environments have a basic understanding of safety regulations and procedures. The training covers common risks, emergency procedures, personal protective equipment, and the rights and responsibilities of workers regarding safety.

The turvallisuuskortti is typically issued after an individual successfully completes a standardized safety training course. This course can be provided by various accredited training organizations across Finland. Upon completion, the participant receives a card, which serves as proof of their safety training. Employers often require their employees, as well as subcontractors and visitors, to possess a valid turvallisuuskortti before entering a work site. This practice helps to standardize safety knowledge and reduce the likelihood of accidents. The validity period of the turvallisuuskortti is usually limited, requiring individuals to refresh their training periodically to stay up-to-date with current safety standards and practices. The system is a significant component of Finland's proactive approach to workplace safety.
