Medical Examination of Young Persons (Industry) Convention, 1946 (No. 77) - Comoros (Ratification: 1978)

The Committee has noted the information communicated by the Government in its report in response to its earlier comments. The Government has indicated, in particular, that in collaboration with a consultant of the International Labour Office, it is drafting regulations under the Labour Code, and that these will take into account the comments of the Committee. The Committee hopes that these texts will be elaborated and adopted in the near future, and will give effect to the following Articles of the Convention: Article 1, paragraph 1 (application of the Labour Code of 1984 to apprentices); Article 3, paragraph 1, and Article 4 (periodic medical examination made by a doctor); Article 3, paragraphs 2 and 3 (repetition of the medical examination at intervals of not more than one year, both in ordinary cases and in the special circumstances provided for in paragraph 3); and Article 6 (physical and vocational rehabilitation of children and young persons found by medical examination to be unsuited to certain types of work or to have physical handicaps or limitations).
