Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 2008, published 98th ILC session (2009)

Minimum Age (Industry) Convention (Revised), 1937 (No. 59) - Gibraltar

Article 5 of the Convention. Hazardous work. In its previous comments, the Committee had noted with interest that the Government intended to enact a legislative amendment to the Employment and Training Ordinance by insertion of a new section 31A so as to prescribe the age of 16 for the admission of young persons to employment which is dangerous to the life, health or morals of the persons employed therein. The Committee once again expresses the hope that the amendment will be made in the very near future in order to ensure complete conformity of the national legislation with Article 5 and that the Government will indicate any progress made.
