Briefings
The Academia de Segurança da Galp in Sines has trained over 2,000 emergency response personnel nationwide since January 2026, with 2,137 participants attending the second training session in Setúbal. The program, part of the 360 initiative, focuses on multidisciplinary teamwork, industrial safety, and emergency planning.

Future plans include opening the academy to schools in 2027.
