Safety

The working environment, conditions and planning of the work itself largely determine whether the work can be done safely. If occupational safety is not taken into consideration during the planning phase, it is often very challenging to do the work safely. For example, think about the process of constructing a building from prefabricated elements. If occupational safety is overlooked during the planning and design phases, what is the chance of the building going up safely? Probably fairly low.

In terms of occupational safety, 2020 was a bad year on Fingrid’s worksites. We worked hard with our suppliers to enhance occupational safety. Nevertheless, there were more lost time injuries than normal.
