Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 1992, published 79th ILC session (1992)

Article 3 of the Convention. As the Government's report does not contain a reply to the Committee's previous comments on this point, it again requests the Government to indicate whether sections 47 and 49 of the Factory Ordinance, which were exempted from the entry into force of the said Ordinance in 1967, are now in force.

Meanwhile, the Committee notes with interest the 1990 Report of the Labour Department supplied by the Government with its report on Convention No. 81, which contains the report of labour inspection including the construction industry and covering the safety and health aspects. If the above-mentioned Ordinance is not applicable to construction by virtue of its section 49, please provide information on national laws or regulations relating to the health, safety and welfare of construction workers.

The Committee also requests the Government to supply information on the measures taken to ensure fair and reasonable conditions in the health, safety and welfare matters for the workers who are not covered by the Factory Ordinance and are engaged in the execution of public contracts.
