Previous comment

In order to provide a comprehensive view of the issues relating to the application of the Conventions on the medical examination of young persons, the Committee considers it appropriate to examine Conventions Nos 77 and 78 in a single comment.
Articles 2(3) and (4) of Conventions Nos 77 and 78. List of jobs involving similar health risks and the authority competent to draw up a health certificate and conditions of issue. Following its previous comments, the Committee notes the Government’s information, in its report, that the medical examinations of employees in Ukraine are conducted for certain categories of workers, including young people under the age of 21, and in certain professions, industries and organizations whose activities are related to public service and may lead to the spread of infectious diseases. These are regulated respectively through Ministry of Health Orders No. 246 of 21 May 2007 and No. 280 of 23 July 2002. The Government indicates that the medical certificate that is mandatory when hiring minors must state information about the minor’s ability to perform work in specific working conditions.
Article 7(2)(a) of Convention No. 78. Ensuring the application of the system of medical examination for fitness for employment to children and young persons engaged either on their own account or on account of their parents. Noting with regret the absence of information on this issue in the Government’s report,the Committee once again requests the Government to indicate whether the national legislation determines the identification measures to be adopted to ensure that the system of medical examinations for fitness is applied to children and young persons employed on their own account, or that of their parents in itinerant trading, or in any other occupation carried out in the streets or in places to which the public have access.
