Observation (CEACR) - adopted 1995, published 83rd ILC session (1996)

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

The Committee notes the information supplied by the Government in its latest report. It notes in particular that the draft Labour Code has been transmitted to Parliament and should then be submitted to the Senate. The Committee hopes that the Government will be in a position to provide a copy of the text when it is adopted.

The Committee also hopes that the text will contain provisions giving effect to Article 2 of the Convention (formal prohibition upon the sale and hire or transfer in any other manner and exhibition of machinery of which the dangerous parts are without appropriate guards) and Article 4 (obligation to ensure compliance with the provisions of Article 2 resting on the vendor, the person letting out on hire or transferring the machinery in any other manner, the exhibitor, the manufacturer when he sells machinery, lets it out on hire, transfers it in any other manner or exhibits it).
