Valtti card. Not to control. But to verify
In accordance with the Occupational Safety and Health Act, every person working at a building site is required to carry an ID card with a facial photograph, name, tax number, and employer details.

Launched in 2013, the Valtti card helps secure fair and safe building sites for both workers and industry employers.
