Article 4 of the Convention. National policy. The Committee notes with satisfaction that, within the framework of the periodic review of its national occupational safety and health (OSH) policy, the Government, in consultation with the social partners, proceeded to ratify in 2008 the Protocol of 2002 to the present Convention and the following Conventions, for which the first reports were received on 25 October 2010: the Radiation Protection Convention, 1960 (No. 115); the Guarding of Machinery Convention, 1963 (No. 119); the Hygiene (Commerce and Offices) Convention, 1964 (No. 120); the Maximum Weight Convention, 1967 (No. 127); the Benzene Convention, 1971 (No. 136); the Occupational Cancer Convention, 1974 (No. 139); the Working Environment (Air Pollution, Noise and Vibration) Convention, 1977 (No. 148); the Occupational Health Services Convention, 1985 (No. 161); the Asbestos Convention, 1986 (No. 162); the Safety and Health in Construction Convention, 1988 (No. 167); the Chemicals Convention, 1990 (No. 170); the Prevention of Major Industrial Accidents Convention, 1993 (No. 174); the Safety and Health in Mines Convention, 1995 (No. 176); the Safety and Health in Agriculture Convention, 2001 (No. 184). In this respect, the Committee takes this opportunity to recall that in March 2010 the Governing Body adopted a Plan of Action 2010–16 to achieve widespread ratification and effective implementation of the key occupational safety and health instruments (Convention No. 155, its Protocol of 2002 and the Promotional Framework for Occupational Safety and Health Convention, 2006 (No. 187)). As the Government has ratified the present Convention and its Protocol, as well as sectoral and thematic OSH Conventions, the Committee takes this opportunity to draw the Government’s attention to the fact that Convention No. 187 effectively supplements the holistic approach to OSH. The Committee invites the Government to provide information in the manner in which the periodical review of its national policy, as envisaged in this Article, is undertaken, and its outcome.

The Committee is raising other points in a request addressed directly to the Government.
