2nd Course, Advanced Training Programme Justice XXI – 2009 Registrations closed
António Casimiro Ferreira (CES/OPJ) José Igreja Matos (ASJP) The Advanced Training Programme Justice XXI, proposed by the Portuguese Judges Trade Union Association and by the Centre for social Studies, University of Coimbra / Permanent Observatory for Portuguese Justice, presents its 2nd course in 2009 intituled “Occupational Injuries – safety, protection and reparation”. The dynamics of contemporary society have been marked by a permanent tension between the individual and collective character in regulation of social risks emerging from the social relations established in the workplace. In a significant manner, the constitution of the so-called Welfare-States finds within the process of socialization of individual risks one of its social-political pillars. The notion of risk society arises in the extent of this debate as a perspective of analysis adequate to research and study of the phenomenon that we today designate as professional risks. Among these, workplace accidents, by their extension and intensity of their effects, present themselves as one of the most problematic as what pertains to the effectiveness of labour norm, the role of public and private institutions and social partners. The present course organizes itself in three axes. The first, centred on the thematic of prevention of professional risks. The fact that Portugal evidences high levels of workplace injuries, concurrent to the institutional effort engaged through labour risks regulation policies renders important the analysis of preventive measures, as well as their practical effects. The second is based on the centrality of labour courts in face of the occupational injuries phenomenon, the mobilization of courts and their dynamics, the facilitation of access to law and justice and the role performed by judicial operators in the processes that involve occupational injury victims and their families, points out the importance of labour justice administration. The third axis pertains to issues on reparation, in its scope, analyzing the relation of adequacy between institutional and legal answers mobilized in occupational injuries procedures and the objective situations of workplace accident victims.
The advanced training courses are targeted at all professionals in the area of justice or those who have special links to this sector, namely judicial magistrates and officials at the Republic’s Prosecution Service, lawyers, judicial staff, criminal police bodies, the media, State institution, association or NGO cadres and to Master and Doctoral Programmes students.
