Observation (CEACR) - adopted 1992, published 79th ILC session (1992)

Radiation Protection Convention, 1960 (No. 115) - Guinea (Ratification: 1966)

1. In 1982, the Committee had noted the Government's indication that a review of the occupational safety and health legislation in force was being undertaken and expressed its hope that new legislation would ensure the application of the Convention to all activities involving exposure to ionising radiations. The Government had indicated in its report for 1988, that regulations for the protection of workers against ionising radiations were being elaborated. In its latest report, the Government indicates that a review of the application in its country of all ratified international instruments is being undertaken and that a systematic updating of the relevant texts is planned. The Committee can only once again express the hope that the necessary measures will be taken without further delay so as to ensure that full effect is given to the Convention. The Government is requested to indicate, in its next report, the progress made in this regard.

2. The Committee would draw the Government's attention to its general observation under this Convention and requests the Government to indicate the steps taken or being considered in relation to the matters raised in the conclusions.
