The level of occupational safety improved noticeably in 2018. The credit for this goes to all the people who work in Fingrid’s investments and maintenance. We clearly achieved the intermediate target set for lost-time injury frequency in 2018, and we can also be satisfied with this result.
The biggest safety risks in Fingrid’s operations are related to physical work that is mainly performed by main and subcontractors specialised in that field. Occupational safety has always been considered a priority, and is taken into account in the contract agreements.
The Safety on the Lines magazine is now linked with our customer magazine, because occupational safety is Fingrid’s number one priority in all its activities.
