Articles 3, 4, 6, 7, 9 and 10 of the Convention. Protective measures for night workers. The Committee notes the Government’s reiteration that a review process to update the Labour Code and bring it into line with ratified international standards is under way in the Labour Advisory Council. The Committee once again emphasizes the need to adopt specific protective measures, in law and practice, to give effect to the Convention. Under these conditions, the Committee firmly hopes that during the review of the Labour Code that has already been announced or by any other method, the Government will take measures ensuring a minimum level of protection for night workers according to the specific requirements set out in Articles 3 (specific protective measures), 4 (free medical assessment), 6 (workers certified as unfit for night work), 7 (maternity protection), 9 (social services) and 10 (consultation of workers’ representatives concerned) of the Convention.
The Committee is raising other matters in a request addressed directly to the Government.
