On February 26th, ISEL formalized a collaboration protocol with the Authority for Working Conditions (ACT), clearly reinforcing its strategic commitment to promoting Occupational Safety and Health.The ceremony was attended by the Inspector-General of the ACT, Dr. Maria Fernanda Campos. Representing ISEL were the President, Professor José Nascimento, the Vice-President, Professor Pedro Silva, the Director's Advisor, Professor Patrícia Barata, as well as the Head of the Hygiene, Safety and Health Unit, Eng. Paula de Castro, responsible for coordinating with the ACT for the implementation of the protocol, and the Heads of the Infrastructure and Equipment Management Service, Eng. Vanda Pacheco, and the Communication and Image Service, Dr. Marta Coelho.The main objective of signing this protocol was to reinforce the institutional importance of this partnership and promote the convergence of efforts between the two entities in promoting safe, healthy work environments aligned with best practices.The protocol establishes a framework for technical cooperation aimed at strengthening institutional coordination, encouraging the sharing of knowledge and best practices, and boosting joint initiatives. Among the areas of action foreseen, the prevention of occupational risks stands out, understood as a central element of consistent, planned action focused on the early identification and mitigation of potential risk situations.With this initiative, the ISEL Directorate reinforces its commitment to placing safety at the center of the institution's priorities, consolidating an organizational safety culture based on valuing and caring for people.Occupational Safety and Health is not only considered a legal obligation, but a continuous commitment to the safety, well-being, health, and quality of life of the entire academic community—an investment that contributes to a safer and healthier future for all, as assumed in the Occupational Safety and Health Policy.
