Plastic Safety Cards Becoming History – Meet the Mobile Safety Cards

Timo Vahtera30.1.2025

The Center of Occupational Safety has stopped printing and distributing plastic Occupational Safety Cards as of mid January 2025. From now on, each course participant will receive their Occupational Safety Card as a so-called Mobile Card from the website korttitieto.fi. The Center of Occupational Safety will also launch an open register, where the cardholder, employer, or client can verify the details of the Occupational Safety Card https://ttk.fi/en/2025/01/14/occupational-safety-card-search-opens-on-15-january-2025/ A plastic card can still be ordered directly from the Occupational Safety Center at the cardholder’s own expense until 2026. Occupational safety card is valid 5 years.

What Happens with the Hot Work License Cards?

Regarding Hot work license cards, the mobile Hot work card can be downloaded from the korttitieto.fi service, but course participants will still receive a plastic Hot work card, at least for the time being. Hot work card is valid 5 years as before in Finland, Norway and Denmark.

TVA Consulting’s Own Safety Training programs

We organise Occupational safety card trainings, Hot work license trainings and Emergency First Responder trainings according to regulations set by the trademark holder of these trainings. In addition we have made several other safety trainings based on direct customer needs. For these TVA Consulting’s own safety training programs, such as Electrical Safety Training SFS6002 (also known as Electrical safety card training), TVA Occupational Safety Training, and First Aid Training, participants have depending on their wishes received an A4-sized PDF certificate and additionally also a plastic card certificate.

In the future, the card-shaped certificate will mostly be delivered as a mobile card, which can be downloaded to a phone if necessary. This will lead to faster delivery times as cards will not have to be sent to be printed and posted on snail mail. New mobile card also contains a QR code, which leads to additional information, including details about the completed training. How ever, in the end you decide. We will continue to serve our clients with plastic cards when needed, and they can be requested for delivery if necessary.

Now a More Flexible Way to Earn the Occupational Safety Card
At TVA, for a long time, we’ve been looking for a way to make our Occupational Safety Card training more convenient for both employees and employers. As this was made possible by the organising rules set by the Center of Occupational Safety we decided to do something about this.

How to Design an Absence Monitoring System That Actually Tells You Something
A single absence record carries almost no information on its own. The system has to be built around aggregation, comparison, and pattern recognition rather than individual events. The goal isn't to minimize the absence number - that framing leads directly to the wrong outcomes.
How Occupational Health Care Services Monitor Sick Leave in Finland
This post looks at how occupational health care providers take an active role in monitoring sick leave, what they’re looking for, and why this system can come as a genuine surprise to workers coming from countries where it works very differently.
Sick Leave and Job Satisfaction: What Absence Data Is Really Telling You
Most organizations track sick leave the way they track office supplies: a number that goes up or down, gets reported to someone in a spreadsheet, and occasionally triggers a policy reminder when it climbs too high. But sick leave data, read correctly, is one of the richest behavioral signals an organization has about the health of its workplace. Read incorrectly, it becomes a metric that gets "managed" into invisibility while the underlying problems quietly get worse.
