Article 3(2) of the Convention. X-ray film of the lungs during initial and periodic medical examination. In its previous comments, the Committee requested the Government to indicate the legislative provisions which provide for X-ray examinations of the lungs during initial and periodic medical examinations of young persons under 21 years of age who are employed or work underground in mines or in quarries. The Committee observes that the Decision of the Ministry of Health No. 46 of 2012 on Improving Compulsory Medical Examinations establishes a detailed list of dangerous chemicals at work, including those related to work underground in mines or in quarries, which require initial and periodic X-ray examinations of the lungs.
Article 4(4) and (5). Keeping of records. The Committee previously requested the Government to indicate the provisions making it compulsory for the employer to keep, and make available to inspectors and, at their request, to the workers’ representatives, records containing in respect of persons under 21 years of age who work underground: (a) the date of birth, duly certified wherever possible; (b) an indication of the nature of their occupation; and (c) a certificate which attests fitness for employment but does not contain medical data. The Committee observes that, pursuant to section 34 of the Act No. 82-IQ of May 21, 1996 on Individual Employment Contracts, employers are obliged to compile an employee’s work-book, which contains information on the employment. In particular, pursuant to section 3.2 of the Regulations on the application of the work-books approved by the Resolution of the Cabinet of Ministers No. 186 of 1996, the work-book contains the information on the employee’s name and date of birth, type of education, his/her job title, and remuneration. The Committee further observes that, according to Resolution of the Cabinet of Ministers No. 142 of 2006 approving the Rules of the application of the medical examination card system, the information regarding compulsory medical examinations of workers, including workers under the age of 18 years, is kept at the information centre of the Ministry of Health. In addition, a copy of the act prepared by a competent body on the results of compulsory periodic medical examinations of workers is provided to employers.
