Joint ministries decision introduces additional measures for delivery workers’ safety
A new joint ministerial decision (KYA) that describes additional measures to protect employees in the delivery sector are “protection rules that will save lives of delivery employees,” Infrastructure and Transport Minister Christos Staikouras said on Monday.
Besides the Infrastructure Ministry, the decision was co-signed by the ministries of Labor and Citizen Protection. It includes obligations on both sides, from proper maintenance and insurance of motorbikes to proper equipment provided by employees including helmets and full-length waterproof jackets.
“Our greatest priority and obligation as a state is to guarantee the health and safety of all citizens. The hard-working delivery employees acquire yet another strong institutional framework of protection,” Staikouras added. [AMNA]
