The Committee notes the information provided in the Government’s brief report including the view expressed that the present Convention would not be in conformity with present port techniques. With reference to its previous comments the Committee notes that legislative conformity with the Convention seems to be ensured, inter alia, through recently adopted legislation. The Committee also notes, however, the Government’s previous statement that it would submit the Governing Body’s invitation to contemplate ratifying the revising Occupational Safety and Health (Dock Work) Convention, 1979 (No. 152), to the Tripartite Committee set up under Convention No. 144 for tripartite consultations. The Committee also wishes to bring to the Government’s attention an ILO code of practice in this area, Safety and health in Ports, (Geneva, 2005). This code of practice is available, inter alia, through the ILO’s web site by following the link, http://www.ilo.org/public/english/protection/safework/cops/english/index.htm. The Committee yet again expresses the hope that the Government will keep the Office informed of any developments in this regard.
