- Workers in the most vulnerable situations: Working conditions surveillance modelPublication . Veiga, Rui; Stoffel, SusanaBoth the Labor Code and the Law on the Promotion of Safety and Health at Work in Portugal provide a legal framework applicable to groups of workers that, due to age, physical and mental state or other condition, determine situations of greater vulnerability. The legislator did not specify the conditions which could lead to the inclusion in the group of workers in the most vulnerable situations, nor defined how the surveillance of working conditions should be carried out, and in particular the tools, means of communication, listed data and evidence to be produced. The present study aims to fill the identified gaps by elaborating a model for monitoring the working conditions for these groups. The development included bibliographical reviews, consultation of the applicable legislation, identification of stakeholders, tools to be used in the different phases of the monitoring process, and definition of an action model in the diagnosis and surveillance of the working conditions of workers in the most vulnerable situations. The situations identified as the most vulnerable were those of young workers, pregnant women, people with disabilities, migrant, temporary or senior employees, significantly more likely to contract an injury resulting from their activity.
