Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 1992, published 79th ILC session (1992)

The Committee notes the information supplied by the Government in its last report.

Articles 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7. In the comments it has been making for several years, the Committee has drawn the Government's attention to the lack of any provisions in the laws or regulations to give effect to the provisions of the Convention. The Government has referred on several occasions to the adoption of the General Regulations of the Act respecting health, occupational safety and welfare, which was to give effect to the provisions of the Convention. The Committee also noted that regulations were being prepared on company medical services.

The Committee notes that the Government indicates in its report that the General Regulations of the Act respecting health, occupational safety and welfare, as well as the specific regulations on medical certification for young persons in industry, are in the process of being prepared despite the scarce human, material and technical resources available. The Committee hopes that the above regulations will be adopted in the very near future and that the Government will provide a copy of them as soon as they have been promulgated.
