Convention (n° 12) sur la réparation des accidents du travail (agriculture), 1921 - Maroc (Ratification: 1956)

With reference to the Committee's previous comments, the Government indicates that in order to promote the right of agricultural workers to compensation for occupational accidents, employers in the agricultural sector have introduced a National Agricultural Insurance Mutual Society, which would indemnify 70 per cent of all agricultural holdings employing waged manpower against occupational accidents. In this respect, the Government communicated a set of statistics on the number of holdings covered by the Mutual Society and the value of indemnities granted. The Committee notes this information and requests the Government to continue to provide information in its next reports on the manner in which the Convention is applied in practice as well as full statistical information, in accordance with Part V of the report form (field of application, benefits in cash and kind, the number and nature of accidents reported and the expenditure involved in applying the Convention).
