Observación (CEACR) - Adopción: 2010, Publicación: 100ª reunión CIT (2011)

The Committee notes the information contained in the Government’s latest report, including the comments by the Czech–Moravian Confederation of Trade Unions (CMKOS), which indicate that mining trade unions pay maximum attention to the unfavourable situation concerning fatal accidents, and adopt measures realized by union occupational safety and health inspectors. The CMKOS also states that pursuant to Memorandums of Understanding between mining trade unions, the State Labour Inspection Office and the Czech Mining Office, the situation is jointly appraised on a regular basis and agreed conclusions are immediately realized. The Committee also notes that the Government has referred to online versions of the annual reports on mining safety for the period 2006–09. The Committee asks the Government to continue to provide information on the measures taken and envisaged to improve safety and health standards in mines, particularly coalmines.

The Committee is raising other points in a request addressed directly to the Government.
