Mandatory 40-hour training in Lagoa

Lagoa is a municipality in the Faro district, home to around 23,000 residents. Every employer based in Lagoa 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 Lagoa, sectors such as tourism, hospitality, food service and construction account for much of local employment, and that is exactly where occupational health and safety training matters most. From our Beja office, we support Lagoa companies with DGERT-certified programmes valid before ACT.

Why is 40-hour training mandatory in Lagoa?

In Lagoa, as across the entire Faro 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.
