Observation (CEACR) - adopted 2014, published 104th ILC session (2015)

Maximum Weight Convention, 1967 (No. 127) - Madagascar (Ratification: 1971)

The Committee notes that the Government’s report has not been received. It must therefore repeat its previous comments.

Repetition

Article 3 of the Convention. Establishment of maximum weight for manual transport. The Committee notes the information in the Government’s latest report, indicating the unanimous decision by the relevant ministries to set the maximum weight for the manual transport of any load by a single male adult worker at 50 kg. The Committee hopes that the inter-ministerial order giving full effect to the provisions of the Convention, including its Article 3, will come into effect without any further delay.

The Committee hopes that the Government will make every effort to take the necessary action in the near future.
