The Committee notes the adoption of the Occupational Safety and Health Act, No. 32 of 1997. It further notes the Government’s indication that consultants from the ILO are in the process of drafting the Regulations to the above Act. In the absence of the text of the 1997 Occupational Safety and Health Act, No. 32, it has not been possible for the Committee to examine the extent to which the above Act applies the provisions of the Convention. It therefore requests the Government to supply a copy of this Act, as well as of its implementing Regulations, as soon as they are adopted. The Committee hopes that the Occupational Safety and Health Act, No. 32 of 1997, as well as the Regulations, will apply the provisions of this Convention and will, in particular, address the points raised by the Committee in its previous direct request which concerned the need to adopt provisions to ensure that there is:

-      consultation of representatives of employers and workers on the measures designed to give effect to the Convention (Article 1 of the Convention);

-      in the light of new knowledge, effective protection of workers against ionizing radiations and constant revision of the maximum permissible doses (Article 3, paragraph 1, and Article 6, paragraph 2);

-      finally, the notification of work involving exposure of workers to ionizing radiations (Article 10).
