The Committee notes that the Government’s report has not been received. It hopes that the next report will contain full information on the matters raised in its previous comments.

Repetition

Application of the Convention in practice. The Committee notes the statistical information provided by the Government that since 2011 there have not been industrial accidents involving foreign employees registered under the Employees Compensation Act (ECA) of 2010. The Committee asks the Government to provide information on the reasons explaining such a low level of occurrence of industrial accidents, indicating whether measures have been taken with a view to raise awareness among foreign workers of their rights under the ECA and to facilitate their access to the relevant authorities to claim their rights under the Act.
