Are Your Staff’s Qualifications Up to Date? \u2013 A Comprehensive Autumn Checklist <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n

Summer is behind us and everyday work is returning to full speed. New employees have started, projects are launching, and next year’s budgets are being planned. Right now is the best time to pause for a moment and verify that your company’s staff qualifications are in order before the busy autumn months. <\/p>\n\n

An expired card or missing qualification can prove costly: it can mean work interruptions, insurance issues, or even failure to meet statutory requirements. The good news is that these matters are easy to put in order \u2013 as long as you check them in time. <\/p>\n\n

\n\n

Why is autumn the best time to check qualifications?<\/h2>\n\n

In many companies, spring and summer have been busy: holiday arrangements, summer workers, and projects. The validity of safety cards may have taken a back seat. September is a natural checkpoint because: <\/p>\n\n

Company operations are at full speed and all key personnel are present. Next year’s budget planning is underway, so training investments should be considered now. Many construction and industrial projects launch in autumn, when qualifications are critical. <\/p>\n\n

Furthermore, planning ahead always pays off: training acquired in a last-minute rush is stressful and may be more expensive than calmly planned in advance.<\/p>\n\n

\n\n

Checklist: these qualifications are worth reviewing<\/h2>\n\n
<\/div>\n\n

1. Ty\u00f6turvallisuuskortti (Occupational Safety Card) \u2013 valid for 5 years<\/h3>\n\n

The Ty\u00f6turvallisuuskortti is one of the most common and important qualifications in Finnish working life. It is required at most industrial, construction, and logistics sites, especially when working at another company’s premises or on a shared worksite. <\/p>\n\n

The card is valid for five years. Do you have multiple employees whose cards are expiring at the same time \u2013 this is easy to check now. <\/p>\n\n

\n\n

2. Electrical Safety Card SFS 6002 \u2013 special attention to the 2025 update<\/h3>\n\n

Those working in the electrical sector know that the SFS 6002 standard was updated in February 2025. The revised standard brought updated requirements concerning electrical safety practices and competence. If your company has electrical professionals whose training is based on the old standard, now is the time to consider refresher training. <\/p>\n\n

The Electrical Safety Card is a statutory requirement for everyone who performs electrical work or works near electrical installations. It is not merely a formality \u2013 it is concrete proof that a person knows how to work safely. <\/p>\n\n

\n\n

3. Hot Work Permit Card \u2013 valid for 5 years<\/h3>\n\n

The Hot Work Permit Card is mandatory for everyone who performs hot work outside permanent hot work areas. For those working on construction sites, in industrial facilities, and in repair shops, it is part of everyday work. The card is valid for five years, and its absence can completely prevent work from starting. <\/p>\n\n

We offer both initial Hot Work Permit Card training and refresher training for those who already hold the card.<\/p>\n\n

\n\n

4. First aid qualifications \u2013 EA1 card valid for 3 years<\/h3>\n\n

First aid preparedness is a statutory obligation for every employer. The law requires that every workplace has a sufficient number of first aid trained personnel in relation to staff size and work risks. The Finnish Red Cross EA1 card is valid for three years \u2013 a shorter validity period means it expires faster than other cards. <\/p>\n\n

Check now: does your company have enough first aid trained personnel? And are their cards valid? The three-year cycle means that first aid training is needed more frequently than, for example, Ty\u00f6turvallisuuskortti renewals. <\/p>\n\n

\n\n

5. Forklift License \u2013 always required for independent operation<\/h3>\n\n

The Forklift License is valid for 5 years. The employer is obliged to ensure that an employee operating a forklift has been properly instructed \u2013 training is a clear way to demonstrate this instruction. \ud83d\udc49 Forklift License \u2013 online training<\/a> <\/p>\n\n

\n\n

Practical tip: create a training calendar for the entire year<\/h2>\n\n

The best way to manage your team’s qualifications is to keep track of when each card expires. When you know upcoming training needs in advance, you can: <\/p>\n\n

schedule training evenly throughout the year so everything doesn’t need to be done at once, budget training costs in advance without surprises, book training in good time calmly without additional costs from rushing, and ensure that work doesn’t need to be interrupted due to an expired card.<\/p>\n\n

Online training is a very flexible solution for this: it can be completed at your own pace, anytime and anywhere. The entire team doesn’t need to be away from work on the same day; instead, each person can complete the training at a convenient time. <\/p>\n\n

\n\n

Start the review today<\/h2>\n\n

Take a moment, compile your staff’s current qualifications, and note whose cards need renewal in the next 6\u201312 months. A little planning now saves major hassle later \u2013 and above all, keeps your staff safe. <\/p>\n\n
