Mandatory 40-hour training in Setúbal
Setúbal is a city and district capital in the Setúbal district, home to around 117,000 residents. Every employer based in Setúbal 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 Setúbal, sectors such as services, retail, logistics, construction and technology account for much of local employment, and that is exactly where occupational health and safety training matters most. From our Lisboa office, we support Setúbal companies with DGERT-certified programmes valid before ACT.
Why is 40-hour training mandatory in Setúbal?
In Setúbal, as across the entire Setúbal 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.
