Labour Inspection Convention, 1947 (No. 81) - Russian Federation (RATIFICATION: 1998)

Article 14 of the Convention. Notification of cases of occupational diseases to the labour inspectorate. In its previous comment, the Committee noted the Government’s indication that compiled information on cases of occupational diseases was communicated to the labour inspectorate by the public entities holding such information and that work was ongoing to establish a legal basis for the notification of cases of occupational diseases to the labour inspectorate. The Committee notes that the Government has not provided a reply to its subsequent request for information on legislative changes in this regard. Emphasizing that the systematic notification of the labour inspectorate of cases of occupational diseases is important to fulfil its functions and obligations, including the planning of labour inspection visits and the inclusion of such information in the annual reports on labour inspection, the Committee once again requests the Government to provide information on any legislative changes establishing this procedure in the national legislation.
