Webinar recording | Work risk assessment after the reform of the Occupational Safety and Health Act

How is occupational risk assessment carried out in different workplaces and jobs? What changed with the reform of the Occupational Safety and Health Act in 2023? What are some of the things employers need to consider when assessing risks today? These questions can be answered in our webinar, which you can download below.

Work risk assessment is a legal responsibility of the employer, but at best, effective risk assessment can also bring significant savings in costs such as sickness absence due to accidents. In the long term, the benefits are reflected in overall costs and ultimately in society as a whole. Reform of the Occupational Safety and Health Act 1.6.2023 has contributed to changes in the way work risks are assessed, and both the requirements for risk assessment and the tools for assessing performance have changed as a result of the reform.

In this webinar tour Chief Operating Officer Reetta Olkinuora and our quality and safety expert Annika Saunamäki will introduce us to work risk assessment and give us a clear picture through practical experiences of what we need to know about work risk assessment after the latest legislative amendment. In the webinar, you will learn how to take the new law into account in risk assessment and how risk assessment is carried out in practice. Using the PRO24 activity assessment form.
