Observation (CEACR) - adopted 1995, published 83rd ILC session (1996)

With reference to its previous comments, the Committee takes note of the report of the Government, as well as the comments submitted by the Turkish Confederation of Employer Associations. The Government explains in its report that any disease which does not appear in the Regulation of July 1985 may be accepted as an occupational disease by the Social Insurance Supreme Medical Board. The Committee notes this information. The Committee trusts that the Government will take the necessary measures to clarify in the legislation that the list of symptoms is intended to be indicative rather than restrictive in nature.
