The workplace survey forms the basis for occupational health care activities. The survey assesses the health risks and hazards caused by the work, working environment, work community and stress factors as well as their impacts on health and work ability. The survey also analyses the resource factors of the work.
The workplace survey is carried out in the following situations:
- at the beginning of the occupational health care cooperation
- as necessary if there are substantial changes in the working conditions
- regularly about every 3–5 years
The employer is responsible for ensuring that a workplace survey is performed. The workplace survey is performed by occupational health care professionals (occupational health nurse, occupational health physician and occupational physiotherapist) who evaluate the need for occupational health care experts, if necessary. If the workplace to be surveyed has special needs, hazards or stress factors, occupational health care experts (such as an occupational physiotherapist, occupational psychologist and experts of occupational hygiene, social services, ergonomics, technology, agriculture, occupational vision, nutrition, speech therapy or physical exercise) can be included in the survey.
An occupational health care action plan is prepared on the basis of the workplace survey. The workplace survey provides information on the actual occupational health care needs of the organisation. The action plan prepared on the basis of the information itemises and substantiates the activities and enables impact assessment.
Targeted workplace survey
If any special needs arise in the basic workplace survey concerning a specific area, such as the smooth progress of work, psychological, social or physical stress factors, chemical factors or risk of accident, the basic survey can be followed by a targeted workplace survey.
Electronic workplace survey, eTyöpaikkaselvitys
Mehiläinen’s occupational health care professionals make use of an electronic workplace survey called eTyöpaikkaselvitys. The mobile application uses speech recognition and photos.
The electronic workplace survey makes the survey process:
- faster
- more cost-efficient
- more consistent, regardless of location
The information collected in the workplace survey is compiled in a visually clear presentation format in CorporateMehiläinen. CorporateMehiläinen is designed as a shared tool for the organisation and occupational health care services to make the monitoring of follow-up measures issued in the workplace survey easier and enable the organisation to register the follow-up measures as completed, among other things. CorporateMehiläinen offers a faster method for reviewing the main points of the workplace survey alongside the traditional workplace survey report.
