Discussions with occupational health service providers
"Why have so few fishermen joined
the OH services in Finland?"
The biggest reason is probably lack of knowledge of the services (possibility to join, content, benefits, costs). There is no active promotion. If the services have been contracted to a public health care center, they actually can’t actively advertise because it is against the regulations on free market competition. The OH service providers are not aware of the customer poterntial in their area. Fishers who have fishing as their main occupation are getting less all the time.
