Article 6(2) of the Convention. Duty of employers to collaborate when undertaking activities simultaneously at one workplace. The Committee previously noted the Government’s indication that when several employers undertake activities simultaneously at one workplace, their mutual obligations are, in a general manner, specified under contracts on common works, and it requested further information, including extracts from such contracts. The Committee notes the Government’s reference, in reply to its previous request, to the provisions of the Labour Code concerning employers’ obligations which respect to occupational safety and health (sections 215, 216 and 220). It notes that these provisions do not require employers to collaborate, as they undertake activities simultaneously at one workplace, in order to comply with the prescribed measures without prejudice to the responsibility of each employer for the health and safety of his or her employees. The Committee therefore requests the Government to take measures, in law or practice, to ensure that whenever two or more employers undertake activities simultaneously at one workplace they collaborate in order to comply with prescribed occupational safety and health measures.
