Solicitud directa (CEACR) - Adopción: 2007, Publicación: 97ª reunión CIT (2008)

The Committee notes the Government’s report.

Article 2, paragraph 1, of the Convention. Thorough medical examination for fitness for employment. With reference to its previous comments, the Committee notes the information supplied by the Government to the effect that it provided the employers’ and workers’ organizations with copies of Act No. 88‑014 concerning apprenticeships and of the provisions of the Labour Code concerning medical examinations.

Article 6. Physical and vocational rehabilitation of children and young persons declared unsuited to certain types of work. In its comments over a number of years, the Committee noted that the national legislation does not contain any provisions giving effect to this provision of the Convention, and noted the repeated statements by the Government that draft implementing regulations for the Labour Code were under examination. It hoped that the Government would take the necessary steps, in the context of the revision of the national legislation, to adopt a regulatory text which would meet the requirements of the Convention. In this respect, the Committee notes once again that the Government repeats its intention to take steps in the context of the revision of the Labour Code, to adopt one or more regulatory texts which meet the requirements of Article 6 of the Convention. The Committee sincerely hopes that, in the context of the revision of the national legislation, it will adopt provisions which give effect to Article 6 of the Convention and requests it to supply information on all new developments in this respect. It encourages the Government to request the necessary technical assistance from the ILO.
