Occupational Safety Card
Occupational Safety Card
Occupational Safety Card training, both online and in-person, is certified by the Finnish Institute of Occupational Health and is required at many workplaces. After successfully completing the training, participants are awarded an occupational safety card, which is valid for five years from the date of issue.
