Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 2002, published 91st ILC session (2003)

Protection against Accidents (Dockers) Convention (Revised), 1932 (No. 32) - Nigeria (Ratification: 1961)

The Committee notes the reports supplied by the Government.

The Committee draws the Government’s attention to Part V of the report form and invites the Government to provide information on the manner in which the Convention is applied in practice, supported by, for example, excerpts from inspection reports, statistics, and details of the number of recorded contraventions and accidents.

The Committee also reminds the Government that the Governing Body has invited the States parties to Convention No. 32 to consider ratification of the Occupational Safety and Health (Dock Work) Convention, 1979 (No. 152), which would automatically entail immediate denunciation of Convention No. 32 ((GB.268/LILS/5 (Rev.1), paragraphs 99-101). The Committee would be grateful if the Government could supply information on this matter in its next report.
