työturvallisuusjohtamisjärjestelmille

työturvallisuus refers to workplace safety in Finnish. It encompasses all measures and practices aimed at preventing accidents, injuries, and occupational illnesses in the work environment. The overarching goal is to ensure that employees can perform their duties without risk to their health or well-being.

Legislation in Finland, such as the Occupational Safety and Health Act, mandates that employers are responsible for providing a safe working environment. This includes identifying potential hazards, assessing risks, and implementing control measures to mitigate them. Employees also have a responsibility to follow safety procedures, use protective equipment, and report any unsafe conditions.

Key aspects of työturvallisuus include risk assessments, safety training, proper handling of machinery and equipment, the use of personal protective equipment (PPE), and emergency preparedness. Regular inspections and audits are conducted to ensure compliance with safety regulations. The aim is to foster a proactive safety culture where safety is integrated into all work processes. Effective työturvallisuus not only protects individuals but also contributes to increased productivity and reduced costs associated with accidents.
