Valtticard
Valtti card is an electronic ID that complies with the Occupational Safety and Health Act and also serves as an access pass to a building site or a shipyard area. Each Valtti card contains all the information that is required by the Occupational Safety and Health Act: the holder’s photograph, name, tax number, and employer details.
Valtti card - an electronic key to worksites
Based on the Occupational Safety and Health Act, persons working at building sites or shipyard areas must display a photographic ID card that includes the name, photograph, tax number, and employer details of the worker.
Valtti card is a diverse ID card for worksites. In addition to being an official ID card, it also serves as an access pass and proof of professional competencies. It can be used in the access control systems of our partners, and it also enables an easy retrieval of contractor details in an electronic format from the Employee Management service. This enables more efficient reporting of employee information to the Tax Administration, as required by the obligation to provide information in the construction sector. In addition, employee-specific professional competencies added to the Taito Competence Register can be linked with the Valtti card.
The price of the card is EUR 29 + VAT and EUR 7.20 for delivery and processing per order.
Valtti card and Reliable Partner hand in hand
In order to improve work safety and promote more transparent business practices, we require all Valtti card customers to have a Reliable Partner membership by December 31, 2023.
