Occupational safety card training provides employees with basic information about the dangers of the work environment and occupational safety. The goal of occupational safety card training is to improve the safety of shared workplaces. The occupational safety card is suitable for everyone.

The occupational safety card has been developed by Finnish industrial companies together with labor market organizations, the insurance industry and training organizations. The training is nationwide and follows uniform standards.

A person who has received an occupational safety card has learned to observe dangerous situations and risks and to be aware of the factors affecting occupational safety. He or she can prevent accidents and knows how to act in accident situations. Occupational safety training also covers the responsibilities of both employees and managers.

The occupational safety card must be renewed every five years. We have extensive experience in occupational safety training, and our experienced trainers are responsible for it. We organize occupational safety training both as events open to everyone and as events organized for the company's own groups.

NOTE! The virtual occupational safety card training is organized in a virtual classroom, where participants participate in the training online via a computer from a location of their choice, in real time. We conduct the training in cooperation with the Finnish First Aid Training Fund and you will later receive more detailed instructions by email on how to join the training. Please note that email is a mandatory information when registering.
