The Labour Inspection Department of the Ministry of Labour and Social Insurance (YEKA) held on 15 April 2022, a special ceremony for the signing of the Cyprus Occupational Safety and Health Strategy, which covers the years 2021-2027.
The ceremony, which was sponsored by the European Agency for Safety and Health at Work (EU-OSHA), was broadcast live via the YEKA's Facebook page and was held in the presence of the Minister of Labour and Social Insurance, Ms Zeta Aimylianidou, and representatives of the organisations participating in the Pancyprian Council for Safety and Health (PSCS).
In her speech, the Minister said that tripartite cooperation and social dialogue have always been important tools for the promotion of occupational safety and health issues and that the collective effort for the implementation of the Strategy, through the definition of guidelines and priorities, will contribute to the continuous and steady improvement of safety and health levels in the changing work environment, which results from the European Union's efforts for green and digital transition.
The text of the Strategy, which was approved by the PSCA, the Labour Advisory Board and the Council of Ministers, was signed by the Minister and representatives of the PSCA organisations.
The representatives of the Organizations, through their brief statements, stressed the important contribution of the Strategy in developing a positive safety and health culture and ensuring high levels of safety and health at workplaces, expressing their full support for the effort to implement the Strategy through the Action Plan that has been prepared for this purpose.
