Part V of the report form. Application of the Convention in practice. The Committee takes note of the statistics relating to the number of occupational accidents at Zeebrugge port from 1996 to 2016. The Committee requests the Government to continue to provide statistical data on the number of occupational accidents recorded in national ports, as well as all other relevant information so that it can assess the application of the Convention in practice.

Prospects for the ratification of the most up-to-date Convention. The Committee takes this opportunity to encourage the Government to follow up on the decision adopted by the Governing Body at its 328th Session (October–November 2016) approving the recommendations of the Standards Review Mechanism Tripartite Working Group, and to consider the possibility of ratifying the Occupational Safety and Health (Dock Work) Convention, 1979 (No. 152), which is the most up-to-date instrument in this area. The Committee requests the Government to report any measures taken in this regard.
