The Committee takes note of the detailed information sent by the Government in its report. It notes in particular that in preparing a report on the functioning of supplementary insurance for hazardous work, the Multisectoral Technical Committee took the view that all agricultural activities should be treated as high risk, and instructed a working group to revise Annex 5 of Supreme Decree No. 009–97–SA establishing a list of activities to be treated as high risk. The Committee requests the Government to keep it informed of any decisions in this area to extend to all agricultural wage earners the laws and regulations that provide for the compensation of workers for personal injury by accident arising out of or in the course of their employment.

The Committee further notes the adoption of Act No. 27360 regarding rules on the promotion of the agricultural sector, and Supreme Decree
No. 049–2002–AG approving the enabling regulations for the abovementioned Act. Noting that these texts exclude the forestry sector from their scope, the Committee would be grateful if the Government would indicate in its next report how it ensures that wage earners in this sector have compensation for personal injury by accident equivalent to the compensation enjoyed by the other categories of workers.
