Observation (CEACR) - adopted 1993, published 80th ILC session (1993)

Social Security (Minimum Standards) Convention, 1952 (No. 102) - Denmark (Ratification: 1955)

Part VI (Employment injury benefit), Article 38 (in conjunction with Article 69(e) and (f) of the Convention). The Committee notes the adoption of Act No. 390 of 20 May 1992 on insurance against the consequences of industrial injuries which, according to the information supplied by the Government, replaces as of 1 January 1993 the Act on Industrial Injuries, No. 450 of 25 June 1987, in its consolidated version, as subsequently amended. The Committee notes with satisfaction that, under section 29 of Act No. 390 of 20 May 1992, benefit for loss of earning capacity or for permanent incapacity may henceforth only be reduced or entirely suspended if the injured person has intentionally, or by an unlawful act or omission, caused the injury or contributed to it in an important degree, which permits better application of the above provisions of the Convention.
