Observation (CEACR) - adopted 2013, published 103rd ILC session (2014)

Workmen's Compensation (Accidents) Convention, 1925 (No. 17) - Myanmar (Ratification: 1956)

For many years, the Committee has been drawing the Government’s attention to the need to amend the national legislation in order to align it with the Convention. In this regard, the Committee notes with interest the adoption of the new Social Security Act adopted in August 2012. The Committee hopes that the implementing regulations of this Act will soon be adopted and that the current revision of the Workmen’s Compensation Act of 1923, will give full effect to Articles 5 (compensation in the form of periodical payments) and 10 (supply and renewal of such artificial limbs and surgical appliances as are recognized to be necessary for injured workers) of the Convention.
