Stay sharp and think safely every day. Warning is caring!
This year, we are encouraging personnel to consider safety as a part of their day-to-day activities at work and in their leisure time.
Fingrid has run annual occupational safety campaigns on its worksites. Last year’s campaign reminded employees that occupational safety is created by individuals and teams.
A safety mindset is already integral to everyday work on Fingrid’s sites. Safety is discussed naturally during
orientations and meetings, and the personnel on worksites make weekly observations to enhance safety.
Safety supervisor ensures that the work on a transmission line worksite goes smoothly.
“Foresight and planning are absolutely essential for safety. Employees need the correct equipment, information, and expertise to work safely,” says Safety Supervisor Lauri Tolpanniemi.
Occupational safety is always in the spotlight at Fingrid. It is developed in collaboration with service providers.
“Everyone should get home from work healthy. That is why we aim for zero accidents,” says Fingrid´s Timo Kiiveri, Senior Vice President.
When everyone is mindful of the agreed rules, we are a step closer to a safe working environment.
Last year, a record 1.86 million hours of work was done on Fingrid’s worksites thanks to the large number of investment projects. The number of severe workplace accidents decreased substantially, and the frequency of occupational accidents decreased slightly.
