In comments it has been making since 1973, the Committee has requested the Government to take the necessary measures to give effect to the following Articles of the Convention: Article 10 (maintenance of a comfortable and steady temperature); Article 18 (reduction of noise and vibrations); and Article 4(b) of the Convention (to give such effect as may be possible and desirable under national conditions to the Hygiene (Commerce and Offices) Recommendation, 1964 (No. 120)). In its report for the year 1992, the Government indicated that Regulations concerning safety and health and occupational medicine had been adopted and would be sent to the Office as soon as they were printed. The Government's latest report refers to Decree No. 14390 which approves the Regulations concerning safety and health and occupational medicine and Decree No. 14204 which establishes the regulations concerning the National Occupational Safety and Health Council and indicates that the draft national safety and health and occupational medicine Act is being reviewed by the National Congress and will be sent to the Office as soon as it is adopted. The Committee trusts that the new legislation will ensure the full application of the Convention and requests the Government to send copies of Decrees Nos. 14390 and 14204, as well as any other relevant legislation adopted, with its next report.
