Mandatory 40-hour training in Estarreja
If you run a company in Estarreja (Aveiro district), the law requires you to give each employee 40 hours of certified professional training every year. That is the rule set by Article 131 of the Portuguese Labour Code, covering the workforce of a municipality of roughly 26,000 people.
Companies in Estarreja operate mainly in manufacturing, ceramics, glass and services, activities with specific risks that mandatory training helps prevent. Quirónprevención, with an office in Aveiro, provides these businesses with DGERT-certified training recognised by ACT.
