Convenio sobre las prestaciones en caso de accidentes del trabajo y enfermedades profesionales, 1964 [Cuadro I modificado en 1980] (núm. 121) - Venezuela (República Bolivariana de) (Ratificación : 1982)

The Committee notes the information supplied by the Government in its reports on Conventions Nos. 102, 121, 128 and 130. It understands, moreover, that the reforms to the health and pension systems which were envisaged have not been implemented, since the new Government has decided to conduct a global re‑examination of the matter. The Committee therefore hopes that the Government’s next report will contain full information on all measures taken or envisaged subsequent to this examination and that, in this context, due account will be taken of the obligations arising from ratification of the Convention, and particularly the following provisions which have been the subject of its comments for many years: Article 4 (scope); Article 7 (industrial accidents); Article 8 (list of occupational diseases); Article 10(1) (specification in legislation of types of medical care that shall be provided for persons protected); Articles 13, 14(2), and 18(1) (read in conjunction with Article 19) (level of cash benefits); Article 18 (read in conjunction with Article 1(e)(i)) (increase of the age until which a child has the right to a survivor’s benefit); Article 21 (long-term review of benefits); Article 22(1)(d) and (e) and (2) (suspension of benefits).

[The Government is asked to report in detail in 2001.]
