The Ministry of Labor and Social Security draws attention to business employers in areas that, according to the emergency bulletin of dangerous weather phenomena issued by the National Meteorological Service, occur or are expected to occur extreme weather conditions, to take the necessary – as the case may be – actions, within the framework of the statutory obligation to protect the health and safety of their employees.

Indicatively, such actions are the avoidance or safe arrangement of outside work, the provision of personal protective equipment and the facilitation of safe arrival and departure from workplaces.

As the Ministry of Labor states in its announcement, special attention is recommended to the safety of workers in delivery services.

In any case, they must comply with the instructions of the competent bodies, including the Ministry of Climate Crisis and Civil Protection, in accordance with article 32 of Law 5053/23.
