The Committee notes that the Government refers to new regulations giving effect to the provisions of the Convention, in particular, the Minimum safety and health requirements for workers performing work at sea ports (No. 33/35655 of 12 January 2021), and the Labour protection rules for the use of cargo cranes, hoisting units and related equipment (No. 244/31696 of 27 February 2018). Observing that the Government has not provided these regulations, the Committee recalls that it had repeatedly requested the Government to provide a copy of the legislative and regulatory texts it has referred to in its successive reports, including the Safety and Health Regulations for Workers at Maritime Fishing Port (No. 12/13279 of 11 January 2007) and Order No. 166-r of the Council of Ministers of 10 March 2017. The Committee urges the Government to supply a copy of the above-mentioned as well as any other legislative and regulatory texts that give effect to the Convention. Having this set of texts at its disposal will enable the Committee to gain a better appreciation of the implementation of the Convention.
Article 17(2) of the Convention and Part V of the report form. Application in practice. In its previous comment, the Committee had noted the Government’s indication that the maritime ports and the ports on the Azov Sea have deteriorated significantly and are at risk of causing accidents and endangering the lives of dockworkers. Mindful of the exceptional circumstances in which the ports on the Azov Sea are operating, the Committee requests the Government to provide up-to-date information on the measures taken or envisaged to improve the safety of the facilities at the ports in question and ensure the protection of dockworkers against accidents. More generally, the Committee requests the Government to provide any up-to-date statistical information on the number and nature of accidents reported in the country’s ports, the number and nature of contraventions of the regulations reported by the inspection, and any information it considers relevant on the implementation of the Convention in practice.
Prospects for the ratification of the most up-to-date Convention. The Committee encourages the Government to follow-up on the decision adopted by the Governing Body at its 328th Session (October–November 2016) approving the recommendations of the Standards Review Mechanism Tripartite Working Group, and to consider ratifying the Occupational Safety and Health (Dock Work) Convention, 1979 (No. 152), which is the most up-to-date instrument in this area. The Committee requests the Government to indicate any measures adopted in this regard.
