It is best to use "occupational (health and) safety representative" in many kinds of English, because the term "health and safety representative" has other meanings in countries that don't have legislation requiring such a representative of employees. In US English, it can, for example, refer to someone designated by a company to deal with health and safety issues, such as during a construction project. ==== Declension ==== ==== See also ==== työsuojeluasiamies === Further reading === “työsuojeluvaltuutettu”, in Kielitoimiston sanakirja [Dictionary of Contemporary Finnish]‎[1] (in Finnish) (online dictionary, continuously updated), Kotimaisten kielten keskuksen verkkojulkaisuja 35, Helsinki: Kotimaisten kielten tutkimuskeskus (Institute for the Languages of Finland), 2004–, retrieved 3 July 2023
