Article 3(2) of the Convention. X-ray examination of the lungs forming mandatory part of the initial medical examination. In its previous comments, the Committee requested the Government to indicate the legislative provisions requiring an X-ray examination of the lungs during initial and periodic medical examinations of young persons under 21 years of age who are employed in underground work in mines and quarries.
The Committee notes the Government’s reply in its report that according to section 220 of the Labour Code, workers engaged in hazardous work, including underground work, shall undergo mandatory initial and periodic medical examinations. The Committee further observes that the Government’s Decree No. 225 of 16 May 2011 on the approval of regulatory instruments in the field of public health establishes a list of harmful substances and adverse production factors at work requiring initial and periodic medical examinations, including the X-ray examination of the lungs. The Committee requests the Government to indicate whether the list of harmful substances and adverse production factors at work covers all the harmful substances and adverse production factors to which workers employed in underground work in mines and quarries are exposed in practice in Kyrgyzstan.
Article 4(4). Keeping of records. The Committee previously requested the Government to indicate the legislative provisions regulating the keeping of the certificates of fitness for employment of persons under 21 years of age employed in underground work in mines and quarries.
The Committee notes the Government’s indication that workers employed in mines and quarries shall submit the certificate of fitness for employment to the personnel department of an enterprise after the medical examination. The Committee also notes the Government’s statement on keeping of registers of employees provided in its 2019 report on the application of the Minimum Age Convention, 1973 (No. 138) that “there is no such practice of keeping of registers in Kyrgyzstan at present” and that “this issue will be considered by a tripartite national commission.” The Committee requests the Government to indicate whether employers shall keep, and make available to inspectors, records containing, in respect of persons under 21 years of age who are employed or work underground, the certificates which attest fitness for employment.

Article 3(2) of the Convention. X-ray examination of the lungs forming mandatory part of the initial medical examination. The Committee had previously requested the Government to indicate the provisions requiring an X-ray of the lungs on the occasion of the initial medical examination and, when regarded as medically necessary, on the occasion of subsequent re-examinations.
The Committee notes the Government’s statement that the list of occupations subject to compulsory medical examination, the tests to be carried out and the arrangements for compulsory examinations, including for children and adults, are laid down by the authorized State Health Authority of the Kyrgyz Republic. The Committee further notes the Government’s reference to Decree No. 225 of 16 May 2011 on the approval of regulatory instruments in the field of public health, which contains a list of occupations and processes in dangerous conditions that require a medical examination of workers prior to their employment. The Committee observes, however, that Decree No. 225 does not appear to cover underground work. The Committee reminds the Government that by virtue of Article 3(2) of the Convention, an X-ray film of the lungs shall be required on the occasion of the initial medical examination and, when regarded as necessary, during subsequent re-examinations for employment or work underground in mines of persons under 21 years of age. The Committee requests the Government to identify and supply a copy of the provisions in the national legislation that fulfil the requirements under Article 3(2) of the Convention. It also requests the Government to indicate whether the State Health Authority has laid down any provisions with regard to the medical examination of workers employed in underground work in mines.
Article 4(4). Keeping of records. The Committee had previously noted the Government’s information that the management of an enterprise (including underground works) through its personnel department maintains records of workers under 21 years of age, containing information such as dates of birth, certificates attesting their occupational qualifications and indications on the nature of jobs in which they are employed underground. The Committee requested the Government to indicate whether the certificates confirming fitness for employment of persons under 21 years of age form part of the data kept in such records. Noting the absence of information in the Government’s report, the Committee once again requests the Government to indicate whether the records to be kept by the personnel department in enterprises, including mines and quarries, include the certificate of fitness of workers employed in underground work. It requests the Government to indicate the provisions regulating the keeping of these records in mines and quarries.
