This is the recognition of special-conditions work time (tempo especial) for people who work exposed to harmful biological agents, such as microorganisms and contaminated materials, a common situation in hospitals, laboratories, and cleaning services. If you prove regular exposure through technical documents, this time can be counted in a more favorable way, reflecting the greater health risk workers face over their careers.
