All employees must have occupational health coverage. Under the Occupational Health Act, employers are required to arrange, at their own expense, professional-level occupational health services for their employees in order to prevent work-related health risks.

         Entrepreneurs and other self-employed persons can make voluntary arrangements to ob-tain occupational health services. Employers can also operate an occupational health unit in cooperation with us.The goal of our occupational health care is to sustain and promote the health and working ability of employees with good understanding of specific work and workplace conditions.

        Employees' health status and working ability are evaluated and monitored in medical examinations performed before employment and periodically thereafter as appropriate. The examinations will focus on different criteria depending on job demands, workplace circumstances and individual employees' health characteristics.

        Our Occupational health professionals provide employers and employees information, counselling and guidance about the health risks present in the workplace and about how they can be prevented. They are also expected to refer employees for further treatment or rehabilitation as needed as well as to provide rehabilitation counselling.
