Observación (CEACR) - Adopción: 2009, Publicación: 99ª reunión CIT (2010)

The Committee notes the observations by the Confederation of Mongolian Trade Unions (CMTU), received by the ILO on 5 November 2008 and transmitted to the Government on 12 December 2008, which raise problems with regard to the application of Convention No. 155. The Committee notes that the CMTU considers that several railroad accidents, resulting in injured workers, have occurred due to a number of shortcomings regarding the application of the provisions of the Convention, including inadequate training of workers; lack of enforcement of safety measures in relation to chemical hazards; failure to notify the competent authority in cases of occupational accidents; and omitting to take into account the importance of mental elements affecting health, which is directly related to safety and health at work. The Committee asks the Government to respond to the observations made by the CMTU in its next report.

The Committee is raising other points in a request addressed directly to the Government.

[The Government is asked to reply in detail to the present comments in 2010.]
