Occupational safety summary for 2019

Fingrid’s objective is to ensure that everyone working on our worksites gets home safely and healthily at the end of every working day. We have worked with our suppliers for several years to reach this objective. Thanks to our long-term occupational safety work, we have succeeded in reducing the number of accidents in the workplace and the lost-time injury frequency. Unfortunately, the lost-time injury frequency increased year-on-year in 2019.

Qualification is one of the keys to collaboration

Working in substations and on power lines requires service providers to have special expertise and uncompromising occupational safety management. Fingrid verifies the competences of the personnel of service providers involved in maintenance work through qualification. It is hoped that a national qualification practice will be agreed for the sector.

A campaign to encourage safety observations

We wanted to make reporting safety observations as easy as possible during the campaign. Actively submitting safety observations is worthwhile because each person’s safety thinking improves when they pay more attention to the matter.

Review of occupational safety 2018

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.

Towards more active occupational safety and health

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.
