dc.description.abstractResidential Structures for the Elderly People (care homes) play an essential role in the social response to support aging populations, reflecting the growing rate of aging in Portugal. These services are carried out by people in different, specific professional categories exposed to labour risks that affect the workers' physical, mental, and social health. Analysing and assessing the risks inherent in the various jobs is key to controlling them and preventing accidents and occupational illnesses. This study involves analysing the risks to which workers in a care home are exposed and, consequently, the preventive measures best suited to eliminating and controlling risks. The methodology involves the application of a questionnaire drawn up based on bibliographical research duly adjusted for the different professional categories. Subsequently, through non-participant observation, the existing risks were surveyed and evaluated, with the other sources of information being duly considered. The results show the need for specific training for the organization's employees and the implementation of lesser used preventive measures, which require more significant investment and support for their application in similar care-home institutions.por
