Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 2009, published 99th ILC session (2010)

Working Environment (Air Pollution, Noise and Vibration) Convention, 1977 (No. 148) - Tajikistan (Ratification: 1993)

The Committee refers to the request for technical assistance submitted by the Government in 2005, its 2005 general observation concerning the submission by the Government of reports on ratified Conventions, and the Decent Work Country Programme adopted for the country for 2007–09 which included as an objective “promotion and better implementation of standards, fundamental principles and rights in the sphere of labour in the Republic of Tajikistan”. The Committee also notes the brief report submitted by the Government in 2009, which refers to measurements conducted of the levels of noise and vibrations at workplaces for different categories of labour activities in accordance with methodological and sanitary recommendations and the “SanPin” standard, but that this report does not contain sufficient information to enable the Committee to evaluate the application of the Convention in the country. Against this background, the Committee hopes that appropriate technical assistance will be provided to the Government to enable it to submit a detailed report on the application of the present Convention, including copies of relevant legislation, so that the Committee can evaluate the application of the Convention in the country.

[The Government is asked to report in detail in 2011.]
