Observación (CEACR) - Adopción: 2007, Publicación: 97ª reunión CIT (2008)

1. The Committee notes with regret that, since 2000, the Government has submitted the same report, which does not provide any new information in reply to its previous comments. The Committee understands, however, that a new Labour Code has recently been adopted (Act No. 133/AN/05 of 28 January 2006) and notes with interest that it contains provisions concerning occupational safety and health that constitute a general framework for the protection of workers against risks related to work. The Committee nevertheless requests the Government to provide additional information concerning the following points.

2. Articles 10, 13, 14, 15, 16 and 18 of the Convention. With reference to the comments that it has formulated for several years, the Committee notes that article 125(a) of the Labour Code provides for the adoption of implementing legislation to regulate measures for the protection of safety and health in all establishments and companies covered by the Labour Code, in particular, with regard to lighting, ventilation or aeration, drinking water, sanitary facilities, evacuation of dust and fumes, precautions to be taken against fire, installation of emergency exits, radiation, noise and vibrations. The Committee trusts that the Government will adopt the abovementioned legislation in the very near future and that it will give full effect to Articles 10, 13, 14, 15, 16 and 18 of the Convention. The Committee requests the Government to provide a copy of this legislation as soon as it has been adopted.
