Repetition

Application of Articles 4, 8 and 11 of the Convention. Transport of workers to a ship by water; safety of workers engaged in removing or replacing hatch coverings and beams used for hatch coverings; provisions regarding loading operations. The Committee notes the information that the Republic of Croatia issued the Maritime Code (Official Gazette No. 146/08 and 61/11) and the Act on protection at work (Official Gazette No. 86/08 and 75/09). It also notes from the Government’s report that the Act on labour protection (Official Gazette No. 86/08, 116/08 and 75/09) does not regulate questions regarding the protection at the workplace especially for port workers and the workers who work in loading or unloading ships and that the provisions on the safety of a ship’s crew, including the equipment used when loading and unloading cargo, comply with a number of international instruments as provided for in technical rules for the certification of ships (Official Gazette No. 27/11). The Committee draws the Government’s attention to the fact that the report should give a list of the relevant legislation which applies the Convention, as well as indicate in detail for each Article of the Convention the provisions of the relevant legislation under which each Article is applied. The Committee therefore requests the Government to provide detailed information on the specific provisions of the relevant legislation giving effect to each of the paragraphs of Articles 4, 8 and 11 of the Convention.

Part V of the report form. Application in practice. The Committee asks the Government to continue to provide detailed information on labour inspections in ports, including extracts from inspection reports, and, if such statistics are available, information regarding the number of workers covered by the Convention, the number and nature of the contraventions reported, and the number, nature and causes of accidents reported.
