Solicitud directa (CEACR) - Adopción: 2020, Publicación: 109ª reunión CIT (2021)

Convenio sobre seguridad y salud de los trabajadores, 1981 (núm. 155) - Brasil (Ratificación : 1992)

The Committee notes the observations of Public Services International (PSI) received 29 September 2020, which refer to Articles 8, 13 and 16 of the Convention. The PSI states that the insufficient measures taken to ensure workers’ health protection in the context of the global COVID-19 pandemic has put lives at risk, including the suspension of the obligation to carry out medical examinations, and it refers to the number of cases of infection in certain sectors. The Committee notes the Government’s reply to the observations, which has arrived too late for the Committee’s examination at its current session. The Committee will examine both communications at its next session.
