Finland is represented in the international working group by our CEO, Ville Törmänen. In addition to virtual meetings, the group has already convened in Copenhagen, Stockholm, and Boston for the revision process.

“The revision of the standard aims to improve working conditions and to ensure safe access to machinery and equipment globally where the standard is applied,” says Ville Törmänen, CEO of R-taso Oy.
Revising a standard typically takes several years. We keep our clients informed about upcoming changes and ensure that the solutions we design are always safe and fully aligned with the latest standards.

Saara broke the time limit of 13 seconds in July as she timed 12,84, which is the fifth best all-time recorded result in Finland. In Kalevan Kisat, National Championships, in June Saara won third place.

Early in 2024 R-taso decided to support the young athlete Saara Keskitalo in achieving international levels in her athletic career. Supporting Saara in her athletics is a part of our social responsibility actions.
Saara’s early season has been successful. The so-called magic limit of women’s 100 metre hurdles is said to be 13 seconds. Saara beat that limit generously by running the time 12,84 in Joensuu games in July. It fell short only seven hundredth of a second from the Paris Olympics result limit. Saara won bronze in the Finnish athletic games in the end of June, which is a great achievement considering the high level in Finnish women’s sprint hurdles.
The season is still running. R-taso wishes Saara good luck for the rest of the summer races!
