CMNT_TITLE

Prospect of ratification of the most up-to-date Convention. The Committee encourages the Government to follow-up on the Governing Body’s decision adopted at its 328th Session (October–November 2016) approving the recommendations of the Standards Review Mechanism Tripartite Working Group and to consider ratifying the Occupational Safety and Health (Dock Work) Convention, 1979 (No. 152), as the most up-to-date instrument in this subject area. The Committee requests the Government to provide information on any measures taken in this regard and recalls that it can avail itself of the technical assistance of the Office for this purpose.

CMNT_TITLE

1. The Committee notes the detailed information contained in the Government’s latest report.

2. The Committee takes this opportunity to recall that the Governing Body of the ILO has invited parties to Convention No. 32 to consider ratification of the Occupational Safety and Health (Dock Work) Convention, 1979 (No. 152), which revised Convention No. 32. Such ratification would automatically entail an immediate denunciation of Convention No. 32 (GB.268/LILS/5(Rev.1), paragraphs 99-101). The Committee also wishes to bring the Government’s attention to the ILO’s newly adopted code of practice in this area, Safety and health in ports, Geneva, 2005. This code of practice is available, inter alia, through the ILO’s web site by the following link, http://www.ilo.org/public/
english/protection/safework/cops/english/index.htm. The Government is requested to keep the Committee informed of any developments in this respect.
