Health Surveillance & Risk Assessment segment by Service Type held the highest revenue share in Portugal Occupational Health and Safety Services Market -6Wresearch

“Health Surveillance & Risk Assessment segment commands the largest revenue share in Portugal’s Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) market due to stringent regulatory mandates and high workplace risk exposure. Portuguese labor laws require employers to conduct regular medical examinations, exposure monitoring, and detailed risk assessments at their own expense, making these services indispensable. “

According to 6Wresearch, Portugal Occupational Health and Safety Services Market revenue is projected to grow at a CAGR of 5.3% during 2025E-2031F. Portugal’s Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) services sector has shown notable resilience, underpinned by a robust legal framework. Key legislation such as Law No. 102/2009, which promotes workplace safety and health, and Portugal’s alignment with the 2022 ILO Declaration—recognizing “a safe and healthy working environment” as a fundamental right—have significantly strengthened regulatory compliance and boosted the adoption of OHS services nationwide.

In 2023, construction output exceeded, reflecting an annual increase. This growth, fueled by major infrastructure projects such as the Alcochete International Airport launched in 2024, has heightened occupational risks and, in turn, driven increased demand for specialized OHS services to safeguard workers and ensure compliance with national regulations.

In the coming years, Portugal’s Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) services market is anticipated to experience sustained growth, driven by a strong regulatory framework, increasing employment rate, and changing demographics. Employment levels have surpassed the EU average, with the construction sector witnessing a rise in wages and an increase in employment in 2024, attracting a growing, often inexperienced workforce. This shift is intensifying the need for robust OHS systems to ensure workplace safety and regulatory compliance.

To meet these challenges, the government introduced the 2023–2026 National Action Plan for Active and Healthy Ageing, which promotes safe and inclusive working conditions across all age groups. Complementing this, the Centre for Skills for Active Ageing (CCEA) is training employers and workers to manage ageing-related needs effectively. With projections indicating that by 2040 the population would be aged older, demand for age-sensitive OHS solutions would rise. Meanwhile, technological advancements such as AI tools and wearables are enhancing safety and risk prevention.

According to, Senior Research Analyst, 6Wresearch, Health Surveillance & Risk Assessment segment is poised for the fastest growth rate in the future. With Portugal reporting non-fatal workplace accidents per workers is many times the EU average—and the cases in the construction sector alone, employers are increasingly investing in surveillance to mitigate risks and reduce liabilities.
