Repetition
With reference to its previous comments, the Committee notes the information provided in the Government's latest report indicating that the Tunisian standards (NT) adopted on acoustics, giving effect to Article 18 of the Convention, are not legally binding but have the purpose of encouraging the social partners to reduce as far as possible the harmful effects of noise in the workplace. The Committee also notes that the draft decree submitted to the occupational organizations of employers and workers for their opinion, to which the Government referred for the first time in its report of 1992, has not been adopted yet. The Committee asks the Government to provide further information on the application of the Tunisian standards on acoustics in practice.
Part IV of the report form. Application in practice. With reference to its previous comments the Office reiterates its request to the Government to provide information on the application of the Convention in practice, including results of inspections and the number of workers covered by the legislation, once this information is available. The Committee asks the Government to provide updated information regarding the application of the Convention in practice, with its next report, as such information provides valuable indicators for an assessment of the manner in which the Convention is applied in the country.
