This is covered in UK by Reg 14 of the Management of H&S at Work Regs 1999. Someone else will have to jump in and remind us which EC Directive these Regs implemented. That will be your answer, I think.

Cyprus is now fully harmonised with the EU.
Under the Cyprus Health and Safety Law:
1)An employee is obliged to report any unsafe conditions that he sees to his employer and or the HS advisor.
2)Breaking the law in a criminal offence and - depending of course on the seriousness - can be punished with up to 10,000 Cyprus Pounds fine and or up to 2 years imprisonment.
