  ARTICLE 54
  The working pay due to prisoners of war shall be fixed in accordance with the provisions of
  Article 62 of the present Convention.
  Prisoners of war who sustain accidents in connection with work, or who contract a disease in the
  course, or in consequence of their work, shall receive all the care their condition may require.
  The Detaining Power shall furthermore deliver to such prisoners of war a medical certificate
  enabling them to submit their claims to the Power on which they depend, and shall send a
  duplicate to the Central Prisoners of War Agency provided for in Article 123.
  ARTICLE 55
  The fitness of prisoners of war for work shall be periodically verified by medical examinations at
  least once a month. The examinations shall have particular regard to the nature of the work
  which prisoners of war are required to do.
  If any prisoner of war considers himself incapable of working, he shall be permitted to appear
  before the medical authorities of his camp. Physicians or surgeons may recommend that the
  prisoners who are, in their opinion, unfit for work, be exempted therefrom.
  ARTICLE 56
  The organization and administration of labor detachments shall be similar to those of prisoner of
  war camps.
  Every labor detachment shall remain under the control of and administratively part of a prisoner
  of war camp. The military authorities and the commander of the said camp shall be responsible,
  under the direction of their government, for the observance of the provisions of the present
  Convention in labor detachments.
  The camp commander shall keep an up-to-date record of the labor detachments dependent on his
  camp, and shall communicate it to the delegates of the Protecting Power, of the International
  Committee of the Red Cross, or of other agencies giving relief to prisoners of war, who may visit
  the camp.
  ARTICLE 57
  The treatment of prisoners of war who work for private persons, even if the latter are responsible
  for guarding and protecting them, shall not be inferior to that which is provided for by the
  present Convention. The Detaining Power, the military authorities and the commander of the
  camp to which such prisoners belong shall be entirely responsible for the maintenance, care,
  treatment, and payment of the working pay of such prisoners of war.
  Such prisoners of war shall have the right to remain in communication with the prisoners'
  representatives in the camps on which they depend.
