Safe lifting operations are a critical part of workplace safety in Finland. Employers and workers involved in lifting tasks must ensure that all operations comply with national safety regulations and best practices.
One sad statistical fact is that Fatal incident reports in Finland often start with a headline
Person fell down from heights OR
Person was left under or between something
This part being crushed often refers to a situation where a lifting or transporting task went wrong and load tumbled, lifted element fell or something similar happened. There has also unfortunately been lifting incidents where this task was done too close to some powerlines and the situation led into a fatality.
Safe lifting operations are essential. We are proud to introduce Turvallinen nostotyö verkkokurssi — a fully online lifting safety training based on Finnish legislation and regulations
Why Turvallinen nostotyö Training Is needed in Finland
