Workmen's Compensation (Accidents) Convention, 1925 (No. 17) - Suriname (Ratification: 1976)

Article 7 of the Convention. Additional compensation for the constant help of another person. Since 2006, the Government indicates that the Ministry of Labour has undertaken the total revision of labour legislation, including the revision of the Industrial Accidents Act of 10 September 1947 (No. 145 of 1947), in order to bring the national legislation into conformity with international labour standards. The Committee asks the Government to supply a copy of the draft provisions revising the said Act, indicating those which aim at ensuring, in line with Article 7 of the Convention, additional compensation in cases where the injury results in incapacity of such a nature that the injured workman must have the constant help of another person.

[The Government is asked to reply in detail to the present comments in 2012.]
