Paragraph- Paragraph text
- The policy should incorporate appropriate monitoring and enforcement provisions, including effective investigations, and provide adequate penalties in case of violations, including the right of enforcement authorities to suspend the operation of unsafe enterprises. Workers affected by a preventable occupational accident or disease should have the right to a remedy, including access to appropriate grievance mechanisms, such as courts, to resolve disputes. In particular, States parties should ensure that workers suffering from an accident or disease and, where relevant, the dependants of those workers, receive adequate compensation, including for costs of treatment, loss of earnings and other costs, as well as access to rehabilitation services.
