Regulamentação e Sinistralidade Laboral: Estudo Comparativo da Realidade entre Angola e Portugal na Indústria de Construção Civil

Bibliographic Details
Summary:This study intends to make a comparative analysis between the regulations of Angolan and Portuguese companies on occupational safety and health. It is also intended to analyze the accident rates in Angola and Portugal in the civil construction sector, for specific risks and to find a possible association between the accident levels and the existing regulations in the construction sector in each of the Countries. The specific risks analyzed here are the most frequent causes of work accidents, namely falls in height, burial, entrapment or crushing, electrocution, work in confined spaces, explosions and intoxications. From the gaps found in the legislation, proposals will be presented to improve the legal coverage of occupational safety and health in relation to the protection of workers exposed to the specific risks analyzed. It was found that in Angolan legislation there is no legislation on safety at work at home or in Portuguese legislation 273/2003 derived from the transposition of the European Directive 92/57/EEC. There was no association between the levels of synergy and the existing existence in the construction sector between the two countries due to the lack of statistical data from Angola for some cases of work accidents that are not reported by companies and thus it is impossible to have correct statistical control. It was verified that the culture of Work Safety in Portugal is more present than in Angola. Despite some similarities between Angolan legislation on work accidents in certain aspects and the Portuguese one, however, there is an insufficient inspection of working conditions in Angola.
