The Committee notes the communication of the Union of United Argentine Dock Workers. It is alleged in this communication that in terminals where loading and unloading operations take place, lorries, containers, etc. circulate in very cramped operating space which is crowded with containers resulting in a high number of accidents, mutilations and possible death for workers. In the absence of a reply from the Government, the Committee requests the Government to indicate the measures taken or envisaged for the purpose of ensuring effective application of the Convention for protection of workers against accidents in the ports of Argentina.

With regard to some provisions of the Convention, the Committee refers to the comments made in a direct request to the Government in 1993.
