Article 3(2) of the Convention. X-ray examination of the lungs forming mandatory part of the initial medical examination. In its previous comments, the Committee requested the Government to indicate the legislative provisions requiring an X-ray examination of the lungs during initial and periodic medical examinations of young persons under 21 years of age who are employed in underground work in mines and quarries.
The Committee notes the Government’s reply in its report that according to section 220 of the Labour Code, workers engaged in hazardous work, including underground work, shall undergo mandatory initial and periodic medical examinations. The Committee further observes that the Government’s Decree No. 225 of 16 May 2011 on the approval of regulatory instruments in the field of public health establishes a list of harmful substances and adverse production factors at work requiring initial and periodic medical examinations, including the X-ray examination of the lungs. The Committee requests the Government to indicate whether the list of harmful substances and adverse production factors at work covers all the harmful substances and adverse production factors to which workers employed in underground work in mines and quarries are exposed in practice in Kyrgyzstan.
Article 4(4). Keeping of records. The Committee previously requested the Government to indicate the legislative provisions regulating the keeping of the certificates of fitness for employment of persons under 21 years of age employed in underground work in mines and quarries.
The Committee notes the Government’s indication that workers employed in mines and quarries shall submit the certificate of fitness for employment to the personnel department of an enterprise after the medical examination. The Committee also notes the Government’s statement on keeping of registers of employees provided in its 2019 report on the application of the Minimum Age Convention, 1973 (No. 138) that “there is no such practice of keeping of registers in Kyrgyzstan at present” and that “this issue will be considered by a tripartite national commission.” The Committee requests the Government to indicate whether employers shall keep, and make available to inspectors, records containing, in respect of persons under 21 years of age who are employed or work underground, the certificates which attest fitness for employment.
