Introduction: All workers have the right to work in safe and healthy conditions, a fundamental right recognized in several global regulations. Portugal, however, has one of the highest accident rates in Europe, which raises doubts about the adequate implementation of labor legislation. Methodology: This study analyzes the contents of the training courses offered by several companies, verifying whether they are up to date and relevant to the specific risks of each sector and function of the workers. In addition, the teaching methodologies and the means used to communicate information are evaluated. Results: The study identifies strategies that allow for the delivery of training in occupational health and safety in a differentiated way, aiming at building a more solid safety culture. Discussion: The results indicate that, although there is training in occupational health and safety, it is necessary to better adapt the contents to the specificities of the sectors and ensure that the methodologies are effective in transmitting knowledge. Conclusions: The implementation of differentiated and updated training can significantly contribute to the creation of a robust safety culture and the reduction of workplace accidents in Portugal.
