Observation (CEACR) - adopted 1990, published 77th ILC session (1990)

The Committee notes with regret that the Government's report has not been received. It must therefore repeat its previous observation on the following matters:

The Committee noted the information supplied by the Government to the Conference Committee in 1988 in reply to its previous observations, to the effect that the Factories Act was adopted by Parliament in 1987 and was due to come into force in 1988. The Committee trusts that the provisions of this Act give effect to Part II of the Convention (prohibition of the sale, hire, transfer in any manner and exhibition of unguarded machinery) and to Article 17 (application of the provisions of the Convention to all sectors of economic activity). It requests the Government to supply a copy of the new Act with its next report.

TEXT

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