Observación (CEACR) - Adopción: 1989, Publicación: 76ª reunión CIT (1989)

The Committee notes from the Government's reply to its previous observation that the Bill concerning occupational safety and health and occupational medicine which, according to the previous report, is to take account of all the comments made by the Committee, is at an advanced stage of discussion by the National Congress and will be transmitted to the Office as soon as it is adopted. As the matter has been raised for a number of years, the Committee again expresses the hope that this Bill will be adopted in the very near future in order to ensure the application of Article 10 (temperature of the premises) and Article 18 (reduction of noise and vibrations) of the Convention and, in accordance with Article 4(b), to give such effect as may be possible and desirable under national conditions to the Hygiene (Commerce and Offices) Recommendation, 1964 (No. 120).

In addition, the Committee would again request the Government to supply copies of the rules by which effect is given to the Convention in enterprises operated by the State, municipalities and other autonomous or self-governing bodies to the extent that the above-mentioned Bill does not apply to such enterprises and bodies.
