The Authority for Work Conditions (ACT) has released research results indicating that on average, one worker dies each day in Portugal due to a work related accident. The ATC also confirmed that many more accidents lead to temporary or permanent disabilities. The ATC is starting an awareness raising campaign on the improvement of health and safety standards in the work place.
