Demande directe (CEACR) - adoptée 2010, publiée 100ème session CIT (2011)

The Committee notes the Government’s first report which states that the provisions of the Convention are implemented by way of Act No. 6/92 (Legal System Governing Individual Working Conditions) in conjunction with Act No. 1/90 (Social Security Act). The Committee further notes that the legislation applies to all branches of work and that the National Social Security Institute and the General Labour Inspectorate are the bodies that monitor, supervise and review the application of such legislation. The Committee also notes that the Government states that the most representative organizations and of employers and workers were consulted in advanced with regards to the application of the Convention. However, the Committee notes that despite the information provided by the Government in its report, effect does not appear to have been given to the majority of the provisions of the Convention. The Committee therefore invites the Government to provide further information on the specific provisions that apply to each Article of the Convention.

Part V of the report form. Application in practice. The Committee asks the Government to give a general appreciation of the manner in which the Convention is applied in the country, and to provide, where such statistics exist, information on the number of workers covered by the legislation, the number and nature of the contraventions reported, and the number, nature and cause of occupational accidents and diseases reported.

Plan of Action (2010–16). The Committee would like to take this opportunity to inform the Government that, in March 2010, the Governing Body adopted a plan of action to achieve widespread ratification and effective implementation of the key instruments in the area of occupational safety and health, the Occupational Safety and Health Convention, 1981 (No. 155), its 2002 Protocol and the Promotional Framework for Occupational Safety and Health Convention, 2006 (No. 187) (GB.307/10/2(Rev.)). The Committee would like to bring to the Government’s attention that under this plan of action, the Office is available to provide assistance to Governments, as appropriate, to bring their national law and practice in conformity with these key OSH Conventions in order to promote their ratification and effective implementation. The Committee invites the Government to provide information on any needs it may have in this respect.
