Convention (n° 19) sur l'égalité de traitement (accidents du travail), 1925 - Trinité-et-Tobago (Ratification: 1963)

Article 1, paragraph 2, of the Convention. The Committee states that by virtue of section 69 of the National Insurance Act (Chapter 32:01), the President may by Order make provisions to amend or adapt the Act to give effect to reciprocal agreements regarding payment of the indemnities provided under that Act concluded with other Commonwealth governments or foreign countries. In this respect, the Committee hopes the Government will indicate in its next report, firstly, whether Trinidad and Tobago has concluded reciprocal agreements with other governments (whether or not they are members of the Commonwealth) in regard to payment abroad of benefits due in the event of occupational accidents and, secondly, if recourse has been made to the abovementioned section 69 of the National Insurance Act, and if so, its impact on the benefits payable to workers who are victims of occupational accidents.
