Compliance with H&S requirements in Finland
Through its specialised support, Studio A&P provides the assistance needed when working within a construction site or a shipyard. The Posting consultants will provide an extensive list of all the documents and information required:
- Posted worker information and documents,
- Workplace in Finland,
- Activity carried out,
- Filled out Forms 5057 and 6150 (for stays of less than 6 months),
- Registration of the company on the Vastuu website.
Construction sites and shipyard
The worker should always hold a Valtti Card when working within a construction site or shipyard in Finland for security measures.
Having a Tax Number is mandatory as it is not possible to obtain a Valtti Card without it.
Before the beginning of the activities
Based on the Finnish Occupational Safety and Health Act, all workers involved within a construction site or a shipyard should hold an identification Badge (i.e., the Valtti Card) before entering the premises.
Due to the obligation of companies abroad to submit a posting notification as well, they should do so only when the posted employees already obtained both their Tax Number (which shall be included in the posted worker’s information section) and Valtti Card.
Reasons for obtaining a Tax Number and Valtti Card
Based on section 63 of the Occupational Health and Safety Act, constructors, project supervisors and employers in the construction industry who did not enforce the mandatory nature of the identification badge are liable to fines for breaching the Finnish H&S legislation mentioned above.
As far as shipyards are concerned, both the posted worker’s employer and the company exercising the main authority within the workplace can be fined for this violation.
Support for posting of workers to Finland
Studio A&P can support all the companies and self-employed workers involved in a posting of workers to Finland within a workplace which is considered a construction site or a shipyard, where additional requirements apply to enter the premises based on sections 52a and 52c of the Finnish Occupational Safety and Health Act.
