Legislation. The Committee notes with interest the adoption of Act No. 27866 (Dock Work Act) of 16 November 2002 issuing employment regulations applicable to the handling of loads, unloading of goods and related tasks in dock work; Supreme Decree No. 013-2004-TR, approving the single unified text of the implementing regulations for the Dock Work Act; Directorial Decision No. 011-2006-APN/DIR, as amended on 9 September 2008, approving the general considerations for the use of personal protective equipment in docks and dock installations and the national standard providing for the use of personal protective equipment in docks and dock installations, the preamble of which refers to the present Convention; Directorial Decision No. 010-2007-APN/DIR establishing the national standard for occupational safety and health in dock work and directives for obtaining a safety certificate for dock installations, which refers to the Occupational Safety and Health Convention, 1981 (No. 155); and Supreme Decree No. 009-2005-TR (Occupational Safety and Health Regulations), and Supreme Decree No. 007-2007-TR, which amends it. The Committee notes that this new legislative framework substantially modifies the application of the Convention. The Committee therefore requests the Government to supply a detailed report indicating the legislative, regulatory and other provisions and their relevant sections which give legislative expression to each Article of the Convention. The Committee also requests the Government to supply the practical information requested in the report form.
