General observation of 2015. The Committee would like to draw the Government’s attention to its general observation of 2015 under this Convention, and in particular to the request for information contained in paragraph 30 thereof.

Article 14 of the Convention. Discontinuation of assignment to work involving exposure to ionizing radiation pursuant to medical advice and alternative employment. The Committee recalls that, in its previous comments, it requested the Government to adopt appropriate measures to ensure that workers shall not be employed or continue to be employed in work liable to expose them to ionizing radiation contrary to qualified medical advice. The Committee notes that, in its report, the Government refers to Title X of the Labour Contracts Act, the Occupational Risks Act, Resolutions Nos 37/10, 216/03 and 1300/04, and Decree No. 658/96. The Committee notes that the legislation referred to above does not give effect to this Article of the Convention. The Committee also wishes to draw the Government’s attention to paragraph 40 of its 2015 general observation, according to which employers should make all reasonable efforts to provide workers with suitable alternative employment in circumstances for which it has been determined that workers, for health reasons, may no longer continue in employment in which they are, or could be, subject to occupational exposure to ionizing radiations. The Committee once again requests the Government to adopt measures to ensure that workers shall not be employed or continue to be employed in work liable to expose them to ionizing radiations contrary to qualified medical advice. The Committee also invites the Government to provide information on any measures taken or envisaged with regard to the provision of alternative employment to workers in such a situation.
