May, June and September 2023
The Labour Inspection Department of the Ministry of Labour and Social Insurance will carry out a special inspection campaign in hotels, restaurants and ready-to-eat food outlets during the months of May, June and September 2023.
The campaign was designed taking into account the main causes of occupational accidents and occupational diseases occurring to workers in the economic activities on which the campaign focuses. Its aim is to raise awareness among all those involved in these sectors in order to minimise accidents at work, occupational diseases and dangerous incidents.
The aim of this campaign is to inform all those involved about the provisions of the Occupational Safety and Health Legislation. In particular, checking compliance with its provisions on the implementation of a Risk Management System, defining and implementing - on the basis of a written risk assessment - protection and prevention measures for the risks arising, as appropriate, from sharp objects, falling from the same level and falling from a height, hot surfaces, overturning shelves and falling objects from them, protection against biological risks, motorcycle transport and the storage and use of petroleum products.
Detailed information material for this campaign is available on the TEE website www.mlsi.gov.cy/dli, which lists the checkpoints, along with corresponding explanations of the key hazards and the protection and prevention measures that this year's campaign focuses on.
For additional clarification or information, interested parties can contact the relevant Labour Inspectorate Officer at apais@dli.mlsi.gov.cy and/or tel. 22405699 / 22405623.
