Safety walk – what is it?
An essential aspect of occupational safety is to identify potential elements of danger and assess risks. Here at the Uniarts Helsinki, we carry out visits to each facility for the purpose to identify any significant elements of risk that require immediate action, as well as agree on measures to reduce the most significant risks.
The representatives of both employer and employees always participate in the safety visit, along with a representative of the facility services. Representatives of occupational healthcare and student representatives may also participate as well as other employees or superiors.
