Observación (CEACR) - Adopción: 1989, Publicación: 76ª reunión CIT (1989)

For many years, the Government has been expressing the intention of amending the Dock Regulations of 1937 in order to give full effect to the Convention. The Committee notes, from the Government's reply to its previous observation, that no progress has yet been achieved in this connection. It is therefore bound to draw attention once again to the fact that no measures exist to apply Article 3, paragraphs 2 to 4 (safety of means of access to vessels), Article 5, paragraph 5 (provision of ladders in holds), and Article 17, paragraph 3 (posting of copies of Regulations), of the Convention. The Committee once again expresses the hope that the process of amending the Dock Regulations will be completed in the very near future and it trusts that the Government will indicate the progress achieved in this respect in its next report.
