PEO Expresses Solidarity Following Deadly Factory Explosion in Trikala

The Pan Cypriot Labour Federation (PEO) expressed its deep sorrow over the death of five female workers in an explosion at a food factory in Trikala, extending its solidarity to the injured and their families. PEO emphasized that the loss of life at work should not be considered an 'accident' but a result of inadequate safety measures and the degradation of health and safety in workplaces. It highlights that preventing workplace accidents requires strict enforcement of legislation, regular inspections, and respect for human life. The Federation calls for a thorough investigation into the causes of the explosion and accountability from those responsible.
