High concentrations of dust are observed in the air today, 25 October 2023, according to measurements from ground Stations of the Air Quality Monitoring Network operated by the Department of Labour Inspection.
The public, and particularly any vulnerable groups of population (children, older people, and the infirm) are urged to avoid circulating in open spaces until the observed episode has elapsed, as the small size of respirable particles in dust may have negative effects on human health.
The employers, based on The Safety and Health at Work (Code of Practice for the Protection of Persons at Work During Dust Episodes) Order of 2022 (P. I. 410/2022), must take appropriate measures (organizational and/or technical) after assessing any risks that their employees may face while working in open spaces, and it is recommended that workers in such spaces use appropriate means of personal protection.
We would like to inform you that the Higher Education of the Ministry of Education, Sport, and Youth will conduct in January 2024, for the first time in Cyprus, the National Employers Skills Survey as part of the Recovery and Resilience Plan of the Republic of Cyprus in order to better connect Higher Education with the labour market. The conduct of the survey requires communication with employers from all sectors of the Cypriot economy. In case you are selected to participate in the National Employers Skills Survey you will be asked to complete a short online questionnaire. More information on this survey can be found at the website: https://skilltracking.highereducation.ac.cy/the-project/national-employers-skills-survey/
You are kindly requested to fill in, in the following link no later than Friday, November 24, 2023, the details of your business (name, postal code, etc.) as they are registered in the Business Register of the Statistical Service, as well as an e-mail address for communication purposes. https://forms.gle/R1rwn4khFM52H4Gh7
Your cooperation is particularly important and will help to collect data that will be useful both for the Higher Education Institutions (HEI) of Cyprus and for your businesses in order to match the HEI Curricula with the needs of the labour market.
