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.
We offer our customers a mobile card directly in Kiwa’s MyCertificate app. The MyCertificate app collects the Occupational Safety Card, SPR first aid trainings, and other Kiwa trainings for individuals registered in Kiwa CompetenceAdmin into a single mobile app. Download the app here: App Store or Play Store.

If you already hold a valid qualification, you can alternatively attend a 4-hour refresher course, which is conducted online.
