Observation (CEACR) - adoptée 1993, publiée 80ème session CIT (1993)

Convention (n° 32) sur la protection des dockers contre les accidents (révisée), 1932 - Algérie (Ratification: 1962)

The Committee notes that the Government's report has not been received. It must therefore repeat its previous observation which read as follows:

1. In the comments it has been making for several years, the Committee has referred to the absence from national law of provisions to give effect to the Convention. The Committee noted that a model statute concerning dockers was to be prepared pursuant to Act No. 78/12 of 5 August 1978. In its latest report, the Government indicated that it has not lost sight of the need for, and urgency of, implementing the specific texts provided for in the Health and Safety Enabling Act and that the emphasis was being laid on the preparation and adoption of the technical texts. The Committee hopes that the Government will adopt as soon as possible the necessary measures to ensure compliance with the Convention and that it will report on the progress made in that respect. 2. The Committee noted from the Government's report the adoption of several texts of regulations which were enumerated in the report; it asks the Government to supply with its report a copy of the Interministerial Order of 5 November 1989 concerning procedure for supervising the processes of loading and unloading dangerous goods.

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