Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 2003, published 92nd ILC session (2004)

Health Protection and Medical Care (Seafarers) Convention, 1987 (No. 164) - Brazil (Ratification: 1997)

The Committee notes the Government’s indication in its report that the main instrument giving effect to the provisions of the Convention in Brazil will be the Regulatory Standard on Safety and Health for Work at Sea and on Waterways (NR-30). The Government pointed out that this standard has already undergone public consultation and was in the process of finalization by a tripartite commission. The Committee hopes that the Government will be in a position to report on progress made in the near future and asks it to provide a copy of the regulatory standard when adopted.

The Committee also asks the Government to provide the following documents:

-  a sample copy of the medical guide adopted by the competent authority pursuant to Article 6 of the Convention;

-  sample copies of lists of radio stations and coast earth stations through which medical advice can be obtained referred to in Article 7, paragraph 3; and

-  a sample copy of the medical report form required under Article 12.
