Abstract(s)
Portugal is undergoing an economic crisis affecting the European Union since 2007. The financial unsustainability of Portugal required foreign aid and consequently austerity and structural measures have been implemented. These measures are causing negative impacts on the economy income and living conditions of the population of Portugal. Studies in this field can stimulate new challenges in Occupational Safety and Health, as well as can be useful to planning strategies that attempt to minimize this situation. The present study adopted a quantitative methodology using a self-completed question naire named External Environment Questionnaire. The results indicate that the instability experienced by respondents and the organizations that they work for, may contribute to profound changes in the working conditions.
