Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 2023, published 112nd ILC session (2024)

Protection against Accidents (Dockers) Convention (Revised), 1932 (No. 32) - Bosnia and Herzegovina (Ratification: 1993)

Legislation giving effect to the Convention. The Committee notes the information provided by the Government concerning the law and regulations giving effect to the Convention. The Government indicates that most of the regulations date from the era of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, which had a substantial coastline, and that they need no longer be applied in view of the country’s more limited access to the sea. Recalling that the Convention relates to the protection of workers engaged in loading and unloading in any maritime and inland port, the Committee requests the Government to provide, where applicable, information on any future legislation or regulation in the context of the possible development of inland and maritime navigation and the necessary development of the corresponding cargo handling operations.

Part V of the report form. Application in practice. Noting the absence of data on the application of the Convention in practice and considering the possible development of cargo transport by inland or maritime navigation, the Committee requests the Government to envisage measures for the collection of information on reported violations of the regulations relating to the protection of dockers against accidents, as well as on occupational accidents recorded, including the number of workers affected.
