Further to its previous observations, the Committee notes the discussion of this Convention in the Conference Committee in 1990: that Committee expressed the hope that the Government would be in a position to inform the ILO of changes in the national legislation before its next session.

The Committee notes that no information in this respect has been received by the ILO. It fully appreciates the efforts made by the Government and the difficulties experienced. Nevertheless, it would repeat its previous observation, which read as follows:

Article 12, paragraph 1(a), (b) and (c)(iv), of the Convention. The Committee regrets to note that no progress has yet been achieved in the adoption of the new draft Labour Code which, according to the Government's repeated assurances, should give effect to these provisions of the Convention (the right of inspectors to enter freely workplaces liable to inspection and to take or remove for the purposes of analysis samples of materials and substances used or handled). It trusts that the Government will not fail to take the necessary measures so that the draft Code giving effect to these provisions of the Convention is adopted in the very near future. Article 13. In reply to the Committee's previous comments, the Government states that by virtue of the powers with which he is entrusted, the administrative governor has the right to close workplaces in which workers are exposed to danger. The Committee hopes that the new Code will contain provisions giving inspectors the right to make or have made orders requiring all the necessary measures to safeguard the health and safety of workers. Article 14. The Committee notes that section 34 of the Labour Code which is currently in force provides for the notification of industrial accidents to the Department of Labour. It hopes that the new Code will also make it obligatory to give notification of occupational diseases.
