Observation (CEACR) - adopted 2013, published 103rd ILC session (2014)

Worst Forms of Child Labour Convention, 1999 (No. 182) - Oman (Ratification: 2001)

Article 4(1) of the Convention. Determination of types of hazardous work. The Committee previously noted that the Ministry of Manpower prepared, in collaboration with the social partners and other competent bodies, a list of hazardous types of work prohibited for persons under the age of 18. The Government indicated that this list was being revised for submission to the competent bodies. Noting the absence of information on that point in the Government’s report, and that the Government has been referring to the pending adoption of this list since 2007, the Committee strongly urges the Government to take immediate measures to ensure that a list determining the types of hazardous work prohibited to persons under the age of 18 is adopted as a matter of urgency. It requests the Government to provide a copy of this list, once adopted, complemented by information on follow-up measures.
