Mandatory 40-hour training in Serpa
If you run a company in Serpa (Beja 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 14,000 people.
Companies in Serpa operate mainly in agri-industry, winemaking, tourism and logistics, activities with specific risks that mandatory training helps prevent. Quirónprevención, with an office in Beja, provides these businesses with DGERT-certified training recognised by ACT.
