Who are we?
The Portuguese Society for Occupational Safety and Hygiene (Sociedade Portuguesa de Segurança e Higiene Ocupacionais) is a technical-scientific structure and member of ENSHPO (European Network of Safety and Health Professional Organizations) that promotes the deepening of knowledge in the areas of Safety, Hygiene, Health and Ergonomics and Environment Protection at work and, simultaneously, access to research results in these areas through the promotion of events such as the upcoming SHO2025.
About the event
SHO
This Symposium has been held annually since 2004. The publication of a book (since 2013) with chapters indexed in SCOPUS with great international projection has increasingly attracted the presence of delegates from many countries.
Since 2019, SHO has offered technical-scientific training in the most varied areas, granting participation certification to those who register.
Participants also have the opportunity to publish their work as one of the following manuscripts types:
- Book Chapter – written in English. All works that comply with deadline submission and the rules referred to in the authors’ instructions can apply to Book Chapter. The works will be selected in two phases:
- Formal verification by the Occupational and Environmental Safety VI Editors
- Scientific evaluation carried out by, at least, two members of the International Scientific Committee (ISC). Papers with an ISC average rating of 0 (or more points) on a scale from -3 to +3 points will be accepted. Unselected papers are automatically re-classified as Proceeding Articles for possible publication in the Proceedings Book.
- Proceeding Articles – written in Portuguese or English. This category includes articles selected by ISC’s decision, according to the former point, or authors’ submission option.
- Abstracts – written in Portuguese or English. This category includes articles selected by ISC’s decision, according to the former point, or the author’s submission option. The abstracts will be considered for Poster presentation.
