Observation (CEACR) - adopted 1993, published 80th ILC session (1993)

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

The Committee notes the Government's latest report.

It again notes that no specific instrument for the prevention of occupational accidents of seafarers, giving effect to the provisions of the Convention, has been adopted, be it a statutory instrument, a code of practice or any other appropriate means.

In its report for the period ending 30 June 1989, the Government had indicated that appropriate regulations were being prepared and would be reviewed with the technical assistance of the ILO to ensure their compliance with the provisions of the Convention. In its latest report the Government indicates that draft specific provisions for seafarers are still being examined by the specialized technical services and that the merchant marine has recently finalized a draft maritime code.

The Committee takes due note of these indications. It trusts that the Government will do what is possible to ensure that provisions giving effect to the Convention will be adopted in the very near future and that it will supply copies thereof as soon as they have been adopted.
