The Committee notes the information provided in the Government’s latest report, and the attached documents, indicating recent amendments to legislation giving further effect to the Convention, including the amendment to the Act of 7 July 1994 – Construction Law (Journal of Law of 2006, No 156, item 1118) requiring construction managers to draw up a safety and health protection plan on the basis of information provided by the designer. The Committee asks the Government to continue to provide information on legislative measures undertaken with regards to the Convention.
Article 6 of the Convention. Statistical information relating to the number and classification of accidents occurring to persons occupied on work within the scope of the Convention. The Committee notes with interest the detailed statistical information provided by the Government regarding accidents at work, disaggregated by gender and sector, and notes that, although there was an increase in the number of accidents at work in all sectors between 2003 and 2004, the number of accidents in the construction sector decreased during that period. The Committee invites the Government to continue to provide information relating to the number and classification of accidents within the scope of the Convention.
The Committee draws the Government’s attention to the Safety and Health in Construction Convention, 1988 (No. 167), which revises this Convention and which may be better suited to the current situation in the building industry. It reminds the Government that the ILO Governing Body invited States parties to this Convention to examine the possibility of ratifying the Safety and Health in Construction Convention, 1988 (No. 167), the ratification of which implies ipso jure immediate denunciation of Convention No. 62 (document GB.268/8/2). The Committee requests the Government to keep it informed of any developments in this regard.
