Mandatory 40-hour training in Pombal
Pombal is a municipality in the Leiria district, home to around 55,000 residents. Every employer based in Pombal 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 Pombal, sectors such as manufacturing, ceramics, glass and services account for much of local employment, and that is exactly where occupational health and safety training matters most. From our Aveiro office, we support Pombal companies with DGERT-certified programmes valid before ACT.
Why is 40-hour training mandatory in Pombal?
In Pombal, as across the entire Leiria 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.
