The Committee notes with concern that the Government’s report has not been received. It expects that the next report will contain full information on the matters raised in its previous comments.
Repetition
Article 1(1) and (2) of the Convention. Equal treatment. In reply to the Committee’s previous comments the Government states that, while there has been no change to national legislation regarding Convention No. 19, the Social Security Department confirmed that all employed persons, irrespective of their nationality, receive equal treatment in respect of occupational accidents benefits. Please indicate whether use was made of the powers conferred on the Minister by section 51 of the Social Security Act (Chapter 31:01), to modify or adopt the provisions of this Act in cases affected by agreements providing for reciprocity in matters of social security.
Parts III and V of the report form. Application of the Convention in practice. The Committee notes that the Government has not communicated the information requested by the report form related to the application of the Convention in practice, including: (i) information on the organization and working of inspection services as regards industrial accidents; (ii) information on how the provisions of the Social Security Act (Chapter 31:01) is applied in cases where victims of industrial accidents or their dependants reside outside Dominica; (iii) general appreciation of the manner in which the Convention is applied based on relevant extracts from the reports of inspection services, information on the (approximate) number of foreign workers in Dominica, their nationality, their occupational distribution, the number and nature of the accidents reported in the case of foreign workers, etc. The Committee therefore invites the Government to supply such information with its next report.
