The Greek Ministry of Labour and Social Security has issued a Presidential Decree establishing stricter occupational exposure limits for lead, its inorganic compounds, and diisocyanates. These substances are identified as toxic to reproduction.
The new regulatory framework aims to enhance worker protection through increased health monitoring and the implementation of digital tools. These digital resources will be used to map hazardous chemicals used in industrial production and track the protective measures applied in workplaces.
