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

Guarding of Machinery Convention, 1963 (No. 119) - Jordan (Ratification: 1964)

Part II, Articles 2 and 4 of the Convention. With reference to its previous comments, the Committee again draws the Government's attention to the absence of provisions in national law to prohibit formally the sale, hire, transfer in any other manner and exhibition of machinery the dangerous parts of which are without appropriate guards, as required by the above-mentioned provisions of the Convention.

In its report, the Government states that the Committee's comments will be submitted to the Ministerial Committee responsible for examining the draft Labour Code, and that the Minister of Labour, who is represented on the above Committee, will endeavour to introduce the provisions required by the Convention into the draft of the new Labour Code to ensure that effect is given to the provisions of this Convention.

The Committee can but express the hope that the Government will do everything in its power, without further delay, to ensure that the national legislation is brought into conformity with the provisions of the Convention.
