The Committee notes that the Government’s report has not been received. It hopes that a report will be supplied for examination by the Committee at its next session and that it will contain full information on the matters raised in its previous direct request, which read as follows:

Repetition
Follow-up to technical assistance. The Committee has been informed that technical assistance aiming at ensuring an effective follow-up to its comments on the application of this Convention was provided in 2011. The Committee invites the Government to provide detailed information on the outcome of this technical assistance.

Pending comment

Articles 1 and 17 of the Convention. Scope of application. The Committee reminds the Government that, for more than 30 years, the Committee has drawn the Government’s attention to the need to extend the legislation giving effect to the Convention to agriculture, forestry, road and rail transport and shipping. In its 1986 report, the Government indicated that it was due to submit the Committee’s observations to the tripartite National Advisory Committee on Labour so that it could examine them and take the necessary steps to give full effect to the provisions of the Convention. The Committee trusts that, in the context of the revision of the labour legislation launched with the adoption of the Labour Code in 2003, the Government will focus on the need to revise the legislation in the field of occupational safety and health, especially in order to give effect to the Convention. The Committee urges the Government to take the necessary steps in the very near future to ensure the guarding of machinery in all sectors of economic activity, particularly agriculture, forestry, road and rail transport and shipping.
