Application of the Convention in law and in practice. With reference to the comments that it has been making for many years, the Committee notes that, according to the Government, a draft Decree on the organization and operation of the National Occupational Safety and Health Commission (CNSST) has been prepared and will be adopted shortly by the Council of Ministers. In accordance with section 283 of the Labour Code (Act No. 133/AN/05 of 28 January 2006), the CNSST will be a tripartite body responsible for issuing suggestions and opinions for the regulation of occupational safety and health (OSH), particularly orders adopting general health protection measures applicable to all establishments and enterprises covered by the Labour Code (section 125(a) of the Labour Code). The Committee also notes the Government’s indication that it was proposed during the promotional activities carried out for the World Day for Safety and Health at Work (28 April 2012), to ratify the fundamental Conventions on OSH, namely the Occupational Safety and Health Convention, 1981 (No. 155), the Occupational Health Services Convention, 1985 (No. 161), and the Promotional Framework for Occupational Safety and Health Convention, 2006 (No. 187). The Committee requests the Government to provide information on the process for the establishment of the CNSST, and on the measures taken or envisaged in law and practice, to give full effect to the provisions of Part II of the Convention. The Committee also takes this opportunity to invite the Government to ask for ILO technical assistance, with a view to ensuring the effective application of the Convention, and requests it to specify any difficulties in this respect.
