EAC received a €40,000 fine after a fatal workplace incident
The Cyprus court imposed a fine of €40,000 on the Electricity Authority (EAC) following the death of an employee while performing work duties. The incident occurred at a production facility and was investigated as a violation of occupational safety regulations.
The case examined the conditions under which the employee was present and the measures the company had taken to mitigate risks. The court concluded that adherence to safety standards was insufficient, which served as the basis for the penalty.
The ruling emphasizes that employers must ensure safe working conditions, especially in high-risk tasks, and strictly enforce relevant procedures.
