Mandatory 40-hour training in Santarém
Santarém is a city and district capital in the Santarém district, home to around 61,000 residents. Every employer based in Santarém 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 Santarém, 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 Lisboa office, we support Santarém companies with DGERT-certified programmes valid before ACT.
Why is 40-hour training mandatory in Santarém?
