Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 2012, published 102nd ILC session (2013)

Workmen's Compensation (Occupational Diseases) Convention (Revised), 1934 (No. 42) - Guernsey

In reply to the Committee’s previous comment, the Government indicates that given the passage of time since the schedule of occupational diseases was brought into line with that of the United Kingdom (2003), it is appropriate for the Social Security Department to consider any differences that exist in this area between Guernsey and the United Kingdom and give due consideration to the suggestions made by the Committee. Noting this information, the Committee wishes to refer the Government to the direct request it addresses to the United Kingdom in respect of Convention No. 42 and hopes that the Government’s future reports would indicate measures taken to update the list of occupational diseases and the system ensuring compensation of occupational injuries.
