A set of 24 working files that organise the duties of Lei n.º 102/2009, de 10 de setembro, into open questions a business answers from its own records, with the statutory text carried verbatim beside each duty.

This toolkit concerns employers in Portugal and the duties the law places on them to promote safety and health at work. It reaches businesses across sectors, including construction and industrial operations, agricultural and forestry holdings, waste producers and waste management operators, laboratories and other workplaces handling chemical agents, and online sellers whose staff work from warehouses or home. The working files walk through the obligations that apply to each of these settings, from general employer duties to the specific rules for equipment, training and health surveillance.

The 24 working files are grouped by subject. They cover general obligations of the employer, safety of equipment, information and consultation of workers, training, risk assessment, health at work, prohibited or conditioned activities, protection against chemical agents, the main activities and means of the safety and health service, authorisation requirements, inspections, administrative procedure, professional secrecy, and the final provisions of the instrument. Each file sets out open questions a business answers from its own records, with the statutory text carried verbatim beside each duty.

Sections are served through a connector inside Claude, and nothing is downloaded or installed. The documents that come back are dated compliance reports the business keeps in its own file. The toolkit never gives advice and never presents a perspective; it carries what the authority wrote, organised.

The working files organise the duties that fall on each of these settings, from general employer obligations to the specific rules for equipment, training and health surveillance.

What do the working files contain?

Each working file sets out open questions a business answers from its own records, grouped by subject such as general employer duties, risk assessment, training or health at work. The statutory text is carried verbatim beside each duty, so the business can read the law's words next to the question it answers.

How are the sections delivered?

Sections are served through a connector inside Claude. Nothing is downloaded and nothing is installed.

What documents come back from the toolkit?

The documents that come back are dated compliance reports. The business keeps them in its own file.

Does the toolkit tell a business what to do?

The toolkit never gives advice and never presents a perspective; it carries what the authority wrote, organised. A business reads the open questions, answers them from its own records, and receives dated compliance reports it keeps in its own file.

Which subjects do the 24 working files cover?

They cover general obligations of the employer, safety of equipment, information and consultation, training, risk assessment, health at work, prohibited or conditioned activities, protection against chemical agents, the safety and health service, authorisation requirements, inspections, administrative procedure, professional secrecy and the final provisions. Each file groups the open questions by subject, with the statutory text beside each duty.

How does a business answer the open questions?

A business answers the open questions from its own records, such as its equipment registers, training records, risk assessments and health surveillance files. The questions are grouped by subject so the business can work through them in phases.

Does the toolkit cover the duties of the safety and health service?

Yes. The working files cover the main activities and means of the safety and health service, along with the authorisation requirements that apply to it. The open questions let a business set out how its service is organised and staffed, with the statutory text beside each duty.

Does the toolkit address chemical agents and conditioned activities?

Yes. The working files cover prohibited or conditioned activities, protection against chemical agents, and the risk assessment and communication to the inspection authority that those activities require. A business answers the open questions from its own records, and the statutory text sits beside each duty.

What does a business receive at the end of the process?

The business receives dated compliance reports that it keeps in its own file. The reports record the answers the business gave from its own records, with the statutory text carried beside each duty.
