Abstract

Occupational health nursing in Finland is based on activities stated by the Occupational Health Care Act. Moreover, the occupational health nurse provides services that are based on agreements between the employer and the occupational health center. Occupational health nursing emphasizes preventive measures, such as the clarification of health hazards and job related risk factors, the arrangement of health examinations, health education, and organization of first aid. Occupational health nurses in Finland participate in continuing education at least every 5 years. In 1991 the option of specializing in Occupational Health as a part of the Masters of Health Care program became available at universities.
