Low-risk workers are those employed in sectors where the activities carried out involve a minimum level of exposure to health and safety hazards or risk factors. These include, for example, office workers, workers in commerce, consultancy, information and communication services, business administration and management, as well as professionals working in technical or legal firms, but also bodyworkers, mechanics, mechatronics, etc.
In these environments, workers are normally exposed to minor physical risks, but specific training is still necessary to ensure adequate knowledge of safety and prevention practices. This also helps minimise indirect risks, such as those related to poor posture, prolonged use of video terminals or emergency situations that can also occur in the office.
The requirements for specific training for workers in low-risk sectors are set out in occupational safety legislation and aim to ensure that workers acquire essential knowledge to identify and prevent risks specific to the environment in which they work. The low-risk worker training course must cover fundamental safety concepts, such as recognising the risks present in office or similar environments, and the correct behaviour to adopt in order to reduce possible hazards.
The specific low risk training course lasts a minimum of 4 hours, during which topics such as the organisation of safety in the company, protective equipment, emergency management and the prevention of indirect risks (such as incorrect postures or prolonged use of video terminals) are covered. At the end of the low risk safety course, workers receive a certificate certifying their training in prevention and safety, which can be requested during inspections by labour inspectors or the ATS.
Specific low-risk training has a minimum duration of 4 hours. The low-risk worker training course covers the main concepts of occupational safety, providing participants with the necessary knowledge to prevent risks in the low-risk working environment.
