The Committee members considered the draft law at their meeting on February 3.
They noted that the draft law No. 3566 aims to bring the Ukrainian legislation in line with the laws and standards of the European Union in social and labor sector.
It also aims to implement the Council Directive 91/383/EEC of 25 June 1991 supplementing the measures to encourage improvements in the safety and health at work of workers with an employment relationship governed by a fixed-duration contract or a temporary employment relationship.
The draft law offers to supplement Article 31 of the Law of Ukraine "On employment of population" with new term, under which works put on the list of the particularly dangerous works approved by the State industrial safety committee of Ukraine on January 26, 2005, do not refer to the category of public works.
The Committee considers that the implementation of the offered terms will improve safety and protection of labor of citizens involved in public works in compliance with the Law of Ukraine "On employment of the population."
At the same time, the people's deputies noted that Item 6 of the Order of organization of temporary public and other works, which was approved with the Resolution of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine dated March 20, 2013, envisions that temporary public and other works do not include hazardous works.
