FFP1 filters at least 80 percent of airborne particles, FFP2 at least 94 percent and FFP3 at least 99 percent. Those three numbers are the headline, but they are not the whole story, and the second set of figures matters more on a real job. Alongside filtration efficiency, each class carries a maximum permitted total…

What PPE Is Required on a Construction Site in Cyprus Six categories of personal protective equipment are mandatory on virtually every active construction site in Cyprus: head, foot, eye, hand, hearing and high visibility. The employer supplies all of them at their own cost, and the worker is not asked to contribute a cent. That…

The EN 388 rating printed on the back of a glove tells you more about its protection than any product name or price tag. For work gloves on construction sites in Cyprus, reading that code correctly is the difference between a hand that goes home intact and a laceration from a sheet of steel or…

Every certified safety boot sold in Cyprus carries a toe cap tested to withstand an impact of 200 joules and a compression load of 15 kilonewtons under EN ISO 20345. That single test separates genuine steel toe boots from lookalike work shoes, and it is the first thing to check before you buy steel toe…

Buying a…

Protective clothing on a construction site in Cyprus has to do two jobs at once. It must meet the EN standards that make a worker visible, shielded from abrasion, sparks or chemicals, and it must remain wearable through a summer where site temperatures regularly pass 40 degrees. Buy only for the standard and crews strip…

A safety helmet in Cyprus protects against the two head injuries that end careers and lives on worksites: impact from falling objects and impact from a fall or collision. On a scaffold in Limassol, under a crane in an industrial yard, or inside a plant room, the helmet is often the last barrier between a…

A safety harness is the last line of defence for anyone working at height. When a worker slips off a scaffold, a flat roof, or a steel frame, the harness distributes the arrest forces across the body and stops a fall from becoming a fatal injury. If you manage a site or buy equipment for…

Construction sites in Cyprus expose workers to falling objects, sharp materials, dust, noise, and the constant risk of slips and falls. Choosing the right safety equipment for construction workers in Cyprus protects your crew and keeps your business compliant with EU law. Every site manager needs to know exactly what each worker must wear before…
