The Committee notes the Government’s indication that regulations are being developed for the general administration of occupational safety and health related issues in order to give effect to the application of the above referenced Articles of the Convention. The Committee wishes to emphasize that the indication that the new legislation is in the process of adoption does not free the Government from the obligation to ensure the application of the provisions of the Convention during the transition period and to provide such information in its report. The Committee therefore requests the Government to provide information on any progress in the preparation of the abovementioned legislation, and to provide a copy of the relevant texts once they will be adopted. In the meantime, the Committee asks the Government to provide detailed information on the manner in which it currently ensures the application of the abovementioned Articles of the Convention.

Article 36(1)(a). Periodical medical examinations. The Committee notes the information that periodical medical examinations are carried out once a year. The Committee asks the Government to indicate the provisions in national law or regulation, or other appropriate method, which provides for the intervals at which periodical medical examinations are carried out.

Part V of the report form. Application in practice.
