The Committee notes the report of the Government as well as the comments sent by the Pakistan Workers’ Federation in a communication dated 21 November 2011. For many years, the Committee and the Government have been maintaining a dialogue regarding the possibility of increasing the wage ceilings giving entitlement to protection in the event of occupational disease so as to ensure the protection afforded by the Convention to a greater number of workers. The Committee notes with satisfaction that, according to the Government report, the condition of wage ceilings was waved in 2007 as a result of an amendment to the Workmen’s Compensation Act, 1923. The Committee invites the Government to provide information in its next report of the number of persons covered by the Act as well as the number of occupational diseases registered and the amount of compensation paid.
The Committee is raising other points in a request addressed directly to the Government.
