Repetition

Articles 1 and 5 of the Convention. Scope of application. Application in law. The Committee notes the information provided by the Government, according to which all legal entities and individuals whose activities involve the planning, construction, refurbishment or operation of commercial premises are covered by occupational safety and health regulations. The Government also indicates that all local regulations of ministries, departments and organizations have the status of recommendations, and are currently being transformed into Government Orders. The Committee requests the Government to provide details on the content of these recommendations and explanations on their relevance with regard to workers engaged in commerce or office work. As the available information does not enable the Committee to assess the effect given in law to the Convention, the Committee requests the Government, when preparing its next report, to indicate clearly the legal provisions and sections which apply in law to each of the Articles of the Convention.

Part IV of the report form. Inspection and application in practice. The Committee notes the Government’s indication that following the enactment of Government Order No. 87 of 10 February 2012 on organizational measures in connection with the reform of the administrative authorities of the Kyrgyz Republic, the enforcement of the Convention has been entrusted to the Government’s State Hygiene, Veterinary and Phytosanitary Safety Inspectorate and the State Environmental and Technical Safety Inspectorate. However, the Government has still not provided information which would allow for a general appreciation of the manner in which the Convention is applied in practice in the country. The Committee accordingly requests the Government to provide information on the manner in which the Convention is applied in practice, for example by supplying extracts from inspection reports and, where such information exists, the number of workers covered by the legislation; the number and nature of the contraventions reported; and the number, nature and cause of accidents and diseases reported.

Reporting. Recalling that the Committee has asked the Government to supply a detailed report on the application of the Convention in conformity with the report form since the ratification of the Convention by the country in 1992, it reminds the Government that it may avail itself of ILO technical assistance to enable it to submit a detailed report on the application of the present Convention, including copies of relevant legislation, so that the Committee can fully evaluate the application of the Convention in the country.
