Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 2005, published 95th ILC session (2006)

Medical Examination of Young Persons (Industry) Convention, 1946 (No. 77) - Haiti (Ratification: 1957)

The Committee notes with regret that the Government’s report has not been received. It hopes that a report will be supplied for examination by the Committee at its next session and that it will contain full information on the matters raised in its previous direct request, which read as follows:

The Committee notes the comments made by the Trade Union Confederation of Haiti (CSH) under the Convention. It notes that the report due in accordance with article 22 of the Constitution of the ILO has not been received by the International Labour Office. The Committee therefore requests the Government to provide the required report. It hopes that this report will contain full particulars on the application of the Convention in practice. In particular, it requests the Government to indicate the measures adopted to ensure that young persons under 18 years of age are subject to medical examinations for fitness for employment, to be repeated at intervals, up to the age of 21 years at least, where such young persons are engaged in work which involves high health risks, as envisaged in Article 4 of the Convention. It also hopes that the information that the Government will send will give a general appreciation on the manner in which the Convention is applied including, for instance, extracts from the reports of the inspection services and, if such statistics are available, information concerning the number and nature of the contraventions reported, etc., as indicated in Part V of the report form for the Convention.
