Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 2011, published 101st ILC session (2012)

Hygiene (Commerce and Offices) Convention, 1964 (No. 120) - New Caledonia

The Committee notes with interest the information contained in the Government’s report concerning the adoption of a national policy on occupational safety and health based on prevention, a new labour code (in particular Chapters II, part VI of Book 2 concerning occupational safety and health) as well as Law No. 2009-7 of 19 October 2009 on occupational safety and health. Regrettably the Government did not attach copies of any of the referenced documents and the report submitted did not include a response to the questions and requests raised by the Committee in its most recent comment. In order to allow the Committee to evaluate how the Convention is applied in practice in New Caledonia, including as regards the application of Articles 14 and 18 of the Convention, the Government is requested to provide a detailed report indicating the relevant legislative texts and a general appreciation of the practical application of the Convention, in conformity with Part IV of the report form.

[The Government is asked to report in detail in 2012.]
