| Abstract |
This publication presents an analysis of Portuguese occupational accident statistics in various sectors of activity and occupations, with a focus on the vulnerability of immigrant workers. Three types of problems are highlighted as being likely to explain the higher rate of accidents among these workers: their precarious employment; language difficulties and cultural differences; lack of information on their rights and responsibilities in the labour market. |
