Objective
Participants shall understand the key principles, structures, and practices of occupational safety and health (OSH) in Finland. They will learn how employers are required to prevent work-related hazards, what rights and responsibilities employees have regarding safety and health at work, and how OSH procedures operate if an accident or work-related illness occurs.
Introduction
How do I impact on the safety and health issues of my work? What is my employer required to do to look after my safety and health, and to maintain safe work environment? What if something goes wrong?
This practical introduction provides an overview of occupational safety and health in Finland from the employee’s perspective. During the session, you will learn about the responsibilities of employers and employees, the role of occupational health care services, OSH representatives, and workplace OSH cooperation in promoting a healthy and safe working environment. The lecture also explains what measures are in place to prevent accidents and illnesses, and what are the support services and compensation systems if such events should happen.
