Protect was born out of a passion for preventing accidents, improving operations and improving people's well-being. We are driven by the desire to make work safer - in a practical and effective way.
Pertti Salo's entrepreneurial career started at the Rescue Department. A big dream came true when colleagues Pertti Salo and Jorma Korpela started their joint entrepreneurial career in fire safety consulting.
Accident prevention became Salon's life's work in the form of a private business after demand for services began to grow. The company took its current shape in 2008, when its ownership base was expanded and its operations began to diversify. Vesa Pihlajamaa, Juha Erkkilä, and Thomas Slotte joined the company, bringing with them strong expertise in heavy industry, finance, marketing, and IT. After this development phase, Salo took over as CEO, and the company began to systematically develop its board work and management.
The idea that all accidents are preventable is strongly reflected in Protect's work. Prevention must be embedded in practice in a way that is understandable, so that all parties involved know what is being done and why. When safety in a company is controlled and systematic, it has a direct impact on individual well-being and business performance.
Protect's operations are based on legal requirements that are applied in a way that best serves the operations of companies. Protect this through its expertise, practical and concrete approach, and diplomatic leadership. Putting people first, listening to customers, and seeking genuinely beneficial solutions are practices that have made Protect a leader in its field in Finland.
The staff are an asset to the company, which is summed up in their passion for helping customers. Continuous improvement in collaboration with the team and enthusiasm with the customer will deliver better solutions every time.
Our current operations cover the whole of Finland. Protect's services also extend beyond Finland's borders: in Estonia, our group company Protect Estonia takes care of its customers' fire and occupational safety with the same professionalism as we do in Finland.
We design safety and quality solutions that genuinely benefit your business and minimise risk. Our services improve individual well-being and increase company productivity.
