Maximum Weight Convention, 1967 (No. 127) - Algeria (RATIFICATION: 1969)

Article 7(1) and (2) of the Convention. Maximum weight of loads that can be transported by women and young workers. For a number of years, the Committee has noted that section 26 of Executive Decree No. 91-05 of 19 January 1991 sets the maximum weight of loads that may be transported manually by women of 18 years and over at 25 kilograms. The Committee recalls that Article 7 states that where women are engaged in the manual transport of loads, the maximum weight of such loads shall be substantially less than that permitted for adult male workers. The Committee requests the Government to provide information on the measures taken to give effect to Article 7 of the Convention, including in the context of the ongoing legislative review.
