Observation (CEACR) - adopted 1991, published 78th ILC session (1991)

Prevention of Accidents (Seafarers) Convention, 1970 (No. 134) - Guinea (Ratification: 1977)

The Committee notes that the national legislation contains provisions of a general nature respecting occupational health and safety, but that it contains no specific text giving effect to the provisions of the Convention. It also notes that, by virtue of section 171(2) of the Labour Code, ministerial orders shall determine the specific requirements either for certain occupations or for certain methods of work.

The Government states in its report that the appropriate texts to issue regulations are being prepared and will be reviewed with the technical assistance of the ILO to ensure that they are in conformity with the provisions of the Convention.

The Committee hopes that the above texts will be adopted in the very near future and that they will give effect to the Convention. It requests the Government to supply a copy of these texts when they have been adopted.
