ACT with a reinforcement of 70 inspectors reaches the highest number ever
Establishment plan with 493 inspectors
The Authority for Working Conditions has welcomed 70 new inspectors, who are starting their internship across the country as of today. This reinforcement, foreseen in the State Budget for 2021, was implemented from the recruitment reserve of the last external competition, and will allow the ACT to reach for the first time a staff of 493 inspectors.
These inspectors are trained in several areas, namely Law, Chemistry, Electricity, Civil Construction, Metallurgy, Agricultural Production, Extractive Industry and Economy. The internships, which will have a theoretical and practical component, will take place in the 29 deconcentrated services throughout the country.
With this reinforcement, in the last year and a half, the ACT had an increase of 190 inspectors in its staff. In 2015 the ACT had 307 inspectors, and this year will reach a total of 493 inspectors, the highest value ever and which meets for the first time the International Labour Organization's benchmark of 1 inspector per 10,000 workers.
This Tuesday, these 70 inspectors were welcomed in a session attended by the Minister of Labour, Solidarity and Social Security, Ana Mendes Godinho, the Deputy Secretary of State for Labour and Vocational Training, Miguel Cabrita, as well as the Inspector General of ACT, Fernanda Campos.
