Observation (CEACR) - adopted 2005, published 95th ILC session (2006)

Occupational Health Services Convention, 1985 (No. 161) - Chile (Ratification: 1999)

1. The Committee notes that the Government’s report has not been received. It must therefore repeat its previous observation which read as follows:

The Committee notes the comments of the Confederation of Autonomous Workers (CAT) forwarded by the Latin American Confederation of Workers (CLAT), and those of the World Confederation of Labour (WCL) dated 1 April, 3  May and 22 July 2004 respectively, alleging among other objections, shortcomings in the way the Convention is applied to workers of the Chilean National Copper Corporation CODELCO, División Andina. The Committee notes the abovementioned comments and requests the Government to provide detailed information on the matters raised in them. At its next meeting the Committee will examine the comments, together with any observations the Government may wish to make on them, in the light of the information contained in the Government’s earlier reports.

2. The Committee hopes that the Government will make every effort to take the necessary action in the very near future.
