National Council for Safety and Health at Work (CONASSAT)
The National Council for Safety and Health at Work (span. CONASSAT) is a tripartite body for social dialogue on occupational safety and health, established by Decree No. 83/996 of 1996. According to this regulation, the body would be composed by representatives of the Ministry of Labor and Social Security, the Ministry of Public Health, the Social Security Bank, the State Insurance Bank, and two business representatives and two of the workers, in turn accompanied by up to two technical advisers each. The Council can also invite other interested parties. Its main function is to coordinate public policy on occupational health and safety as well as to mediate in tripartite relations in the sector. By Decree No. 291/007, it further became the appeal body for the sectoral tripartite commissions, thus intervening in instances in which no agreement was reached.
