The right to just and favourable conditions of work (Art. 7) 2016, para. 28
Paragraph- Paragraph text
- In particular, the policy should indicate specific actions required of employers in areas such as prevention and response to accidents and disease, as well as recording and providing notification about relevant data, given the fundamental responsibility of the employer to protect the health and safety of workers. It should also include a mechanism, which might be a central body, for coordination of policy implementation and support programmes and with the authority to undertake periodic reviews. To assist with the review, the policy should promote the collection and dissemination of reliable and valid data on the fullest possible range of occupational accidents and disease, including accidents involving workers while commuting to and from work. Data collection should respect human rights principles, including confidentiality of personal and medical data, as well as the need for disaggregation of data by sex and other relevant grounds.
