Mandatory 40-hour training in Braga
Braga is a city and district capital in the Braga district, home to around 193,000 residents. Every employer based in Braga must provide, on average, 40 hours of certified training per worker each year, as set out in Article 131 of the Portuguese Labour Code.
In Braga, sectors such as textiles, footwear, metalworking and agri-food account for much of local employment, and that is exactly where occupational health and safety training matters most. From our Porto office, we support Braga companies with DGERT-certified programmes valid before ACT.
Why is 40-hour training mandatory in Braga?
In Braga, as across the entire Braga district, 40 hours of professional training is a legal requirement under Article 131 of the Labour Code, not an optional extra. Quirónprevención, a DGERT-certified entity, ensures your company meets this duty in a simple, documented and ACT-inspection-proof way.
