The occupational safety and health (OSH) administration seeks to influence the operations of working communities and the working environment in order to improve the employees' safety, health and working conditions and the results of the operations. The OSH administration works in close cooperation with the labour market organisations.
Besides the traditional inspection and monitoring services, the OSH administration focuses on the development of multi-faceted instruction, guidance and information services. The European context and international cooperation require that the administration must assume new levels and standpoints in its work.
The Institute of Occupational Health, the Centre for Occupational Safety and the Work Environment Fund are also involved in the work for occupational safety and health.
