Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 2013, published 103rd ILC session (2014)

Radiation Protection Convention, 1960 (No. 115) - Kyrgyzstan (Ratification: 1992)

Legislation. The Committee notes that the report received from the Government on the application of this Convention is identical to the reports submitted on the application of the Working Environment (Air Pollution, Noise and Vibration) Convention, 1977 (No. 148), and the Guarding of Machinery Convention, 1963 (No. 119). The Committee also notes that the Government provides brief information relative to the right to occupational safety and working conditions that meet safety and health requirements, and to the national labour inspectorate in charge of monitoring compliance with labour legislation and occupational safety and health requirements. The Committee considers that this information is too general to enable it to appreciate the application of the provisions of the Convention in the country. Accordingly, the Committee asks the Government to provide detailed information on the specific provisions of the relevant legislation giving effect to the Articles of the Convention and to communicate the text of these provisions, if possible in one of the ILO’s working languages, with its next report. In this respect, the Committee draws the Government’s attention to the recommendations by the International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP), relevant to the application of this Convention, and referred to in the 1992 general observation under this Convention (see www.ilo.org/ilolex/cgi-lex/pdconv.pl?host=status01&textbase=iloeng&document =88&chapter=5&query=(C115)+%40ref&highlight=&querytype=bool&context=0).

Part IV of the report form. Application in practice. The Committee asks the Government to give a general appreciation of the manner in which the Convention is applied in the country, and to provide, where such statistics exist, information on the number of workers covered by the legislation, the number and nature of the contraventions reported, and the number, nature and cause of accidents and occupational diseases reported.
