Observation (CEACR) - adopted 1989, published 76th ILC session (1989)

Guarding of Machinery Convention, 1963 (No. 119) - Guinea (Ratification: 1966)

Further to its previous observations, the Committee notes with satisfaction that Order No. 003 PRG/SGG/88 of 28 January 1988 issuing the Labour Code, contains provisions on the guarding of machinery that are applicable to all sectors of economic activity, including the maritime and agricultural sectors, in accordance with Article 17 of the Convention. The new Labour Code also gives effect to the provisions of Article 11 of the Convention, forbidding workers to use machinery without the guards provided being in position or to make inoperative the guards provided.

The Committee is raising other matters in a request addressed directly to the Government.
