Legislation. The Committee notes the information provided by the Government in its report and, while it notes with interest the adoption of Ministerial Order No. 01 of 17 May 2012 determining modalities for the establishment (or creation) and operation of occupational health and safety committees and Ministerial Order No. 02 of 17 May 2012 determining general conditions for occupational health and safety, it also notes that these orders do not include provisions to give effect to the majority of the Articles of this Convention. The Committee welcomes the Government’s inclusion of translated copies of these new instruments in its report. The Government also indicates its intention to denounce this Convention and ratify the Safety and Health in Construction Convention, 1988 (No. 167). The Committee asks the Government to keep the Office informed of any developments in this respect, and to continue to provide information on any legislative changes undertaken concerning the application of the Convention.
Article 1 of the Convention. The Committee notes that sections 12, 28 and 38 of Ministerial Order No. 2 give effect to Article 10(3) and (4) and Article 16, and that while section 21 deals with hoists and lifts, it does not give full effect to the specific requirements of Articles 11 to 15. The Committee notes that the remaining Articles of the Convention are not addressed in the attached legislation. Recalling that Ordinance No. 21/94 of 23 July 1953 regulating occupational safety in the building industry was repealed in 2001, the Committee reiterates its request that the Government take urgent action to fill the legal void created by this abrogation. It again reminds the Government that the Office is available to provide relevant technical assistance to the Government to assist in its efforts to bring national law and practice into conformity with the Convention.
Articles 4 and 6, in conjunction with Part V of the report form. Labour inspection, statistical information and application in practice. The Committee welcomes the information provided by the Government on the comprehensive exercise currently underway to establish a country profile on occupational safety and health. The Government indicates that this profile will provide statistical information in relation to the number and classification of accidents, including those relevant to workers in the informal economy. The Committee also refers the Government to its comments relating to the application of the Labour Inspection Convention, 1947 (No. 81). Recalling that the most recent statistical information received from the Government in relation to the practical application of this Convention is dated from 2003, the Committee accordingly reminds the Government of its obligations under Article 6 of the Convention. The Committee requests the Government to ensure that its next report includes statistical information relating to the number and classification of accidents occurring to persons occupied in work within the scope of this Convention, and any other information relevant to the application of this Convention in practice.
