työterveyspalvelut

Työterveyspalvelut refers to occupational health services in Finland. These services are a statutory part of employment and aim to promote the health and well-being of employees, as well as to prevent work-related illnesses and accidents. Employers are legally obligated to provide these services for their employees.

The scope of occupational health services can vary but typically includes health examinations, workplace assessments, health guidance, and rehabilitation. Health examinations are conducted to assess an employee's fitness for work and to detect any potential health issues early. Workplace assessments involve identifying potential risks and hazards in the work environment and recommending measures to mitigate them. Health guidance provides employees with information and advice on maintaining good health and preventing illness.

Työterveyspalvelut also play a crucial role in rehabilitation, supporting employees who are on sick leave or have experienced work-related injuries. The goal is to help them return to work as quickly and safely as possible. The services are provided by qualified occupational health professionals, including occupational physicians, nurses, physiotherapists, and psychologists. These services are an integral part of the Finnish social security system and contribute to a healthier and more productive workforce.
