Legislation. The Committee notes Act No. 2012-045 of 25 September 2012 issuing the Labour Code. It notes with interest that the new Labour Code establishes the principle of prevention and, inter alia, cooperation between employers and workers, training, reporting of accidents and occupational diseases, thereby giving effect to several Articles of the Convention. The Committee draws the Government’s attention to the fact that, in order to enable an evaluation of the effect given to the Convention by this legislation, the report should also indicate in detail the provisions of the relevant legislation that give effect to the corresponding Articles of the Convention. The Committee therefore requests the Government to provide detailed information on the particular provisions of the Labour Code and of any relevant legislation which gives effect to the Articles of the Convention.

Article 4 of the Convention. Formulation, implementation and periodic review of a national occupational safety and health policy in consultation with the most representative employers’ and workers’ organizations. The Committee notes the information provided by the Government to the effect that, to implement and periodically review the national occupational safety and health (OSH) policy, an OSH technical advisory committee has been set up. It also notes the information supplied in the Government’s report relating to the application of the Promotional Framework for Occupational Safety and Health Convention, 2006 (No. 187), according to which the framework document for the national OSH policy and the related plan of action are being drawn up. In the present report the Government also indicates that the OSH policy takes account of the major spheres of action listed in Article 5 of the Convention. The Committee requests the Government to supply information on any new developments regarding the national policy and to send a copy of it, once it has been adopted. It also requests the Government to provide information on the consultations held with the most representative employers’ and workers’ organizations regarding the national policy and the results of these consultations.

Part V of the report form. Application in practice. The Committee notes that the Government has not supplied the information requested in its previous comment on the application of the Convention in practice. The Committee again requests the Government to provide a general evaluation of the manner in which the Convention is applied in the country, including extracts from inspection reports and, where such statistics exist, information on the number of workers covered by the legislation, the number and nature of infringements reported, and the number, nature and cause of accidents reported.
