In today’s fast-evolving business landscape, ensuring workplace safety isn’t just a legal requirement—it’s a strategic advantage. In Cyprus, the Management of Safety and Health Issues at Work Regulations (R.A.A. 158/2021) now mandate that companies designate one or more individuals—formally recognized as the Internal Protection and Prevention Service (ESYPP)—to lead efforts in preventing and managing workplace risks.
Organize a training for your organization or join an open course.
Why ESYPP Training Matters
- Legal compliance: Under R.A.A. 158/2021, businesses must formally appoint ESYPP personnel. This is reinforced by R.A.A. 238/2021, which sets a minimum training requirement of 35 hours.
- Addressing a systemic gap: Studies show that 38% of Cypriot SMEs don’t regularly conduct risk assessments, while nearly half fail to comply with basic safety protocols—even more so in smaller teams of 5–9 employees.
- Shifting workplace culture: Empowering personnel through training fosters a proactive safety mindset—preventing incidents, minimizing injuries, and boosting morale.
