Observation (CEACR) - adopted 1990, published 77th ILC session (1990)

Workmen's Compensation (Occupational Diseases) Convention (Revised), 1934 (No. 42) - Haiti (Ratification: 1955)

The Committee notes that the Government's reports contain no reply to its previous comments. However, it notes with interest that the International Labour Office has conducted a number of technical co-operation missions in Haiti and that, in the reports it prepared for the Government, it recommended that a detailed statistics programme be implemented (protected persons, beneficiaries, benefits, receipts, expenditure). In this connection, the Committee notes the Statistical Yearbook for 1987-88 of the Office of Industrial Accidents, Sickness and Maternity (OFATMA). The Committee hopes that, with ILO technical assistance, the Government will be able to report separately on the cases of occupational diseases and that it will be in a position to provide other information on the application of the Convention, in practice, particularly statistics of the number of workers employed in the trades, industries and processes in the schedule to Article 2 of the Convention, the cases of sickness reported and the sums paid by way of compensation, in accordance with Point V of the report form adopted by the Governing Body on this Convention. [The Government is asked to report in detail for the period ending 30 June 1991.]
