Article 6 of the Convention. Vocational guidance and physical and vocational rehabilitation of children and young persons found to be unsuited to work. The Committee noted previously that section 93 of Act No. 85-05 of 16 February 1985 on health protection and promotion provides for regulations to be adopted on appropriate measures for the rehabilitation and integration in society of persons with disabilities, and asked the Government to provide a copy of the regulations adopted to apply this provision. The Committee noted the information sent by the Government to the effect that sections 13 and 14 of the Executive Decree on the organization of industrial medicine envisage appropriate measures allowing for the adaptation of workstations or for transfer of post based on the findings of medical examinations. The Committee noted more particularly that, according to section 13, one of the purposes of clinical and para-clinical examinations is to suggest possible adaptations of the workstation or find posts to which the worker may be assigned and which would be better suited to him from a medical standpoint; and that, under section 14, any transfer is subject to a further medical examination to ensure that the worker is fit for the post envisaged. The Committee pointed out that, under Article 6(1) of the Convention, the competent authority shall take appropriate measures not only for the vocational guidance of children and young persons found by medical examination to be unsuited to certain types of work, but also for their physical and vocational rehabilitation. For this purpose, Article 6(2) provides that cooperation shall be established between the labour, health, educational and social services and effective liaison maintained between them. The Committee referred in this connection to Paragraphs 9 and 10 of Recommendation No. 79 which contain further indications on measures to be taken by the national authority to enforce the provisions of this Article of the Convention. Noting that there is no information on this matter in its report, the Committee again asks the Government to indicate in its next report whether measures have been taken or are envisaged for the physical and vocational rehabilitation of children and young people found by medical examination to be unsuited to certain types of work. It also asks the Government to supply information on the measures taken or envisaged to establish cooperation between the labour, health, education and social services and to maintain effective liaison between them.
