Solicitud directa (CEACR) - Adopción: 1988, Publicación: 75ª reunión CIT (1988)

The Committee takes note of the statistical data supplied by the Government in reply to its previous requests. It also takes note of the Dock Workers' (Regulation of Employment) Act 1980, No. XVII, the text of which was also supplied with the report received in 1987.

The Committee requests the Government to state in its next report whether a special plan concerning health and safety measures at the workplaces of dockers, provided for in subsection 2(h) of section 3 of the 1980 Act, has been established and whether regulations have been issued for this purpose in accordance with section 23 of the above Act (if so, please provide the text).

The Committee also hopes that the Government will continue to provide statistical data on accidents occuring to dock workers and that it will take the necessary measures to prevent such accidents, the number of which, according to the report, increased considerably in 1986 as compared to 1985.
