Demande directe (CEACR) - adoptée 1993, publiée 80ème session CIT (1993)

The Committee notes the indication in the Government's latest report that a draft decree will soon be approved by the Executive Power which provides for the creation of a tripartite Coordination Group on Occupational Safety and Workplace Environment Conditions. The Coordination Group to be established would have the task, inter alia, of analysing the national occupational safety and health policy and proposing amendments, as well as elaborating national plans of action and programmes with respect to occupational safety and health and studying the viability of establishing a single competent body in occupational safety and health matters.

In its previous comments, the Committee noted that the Government had not yet taken steps to give effect to the provisions of the Convention. The Committee hopes that the necessary steps will be taken in the near future to formulate and implement a national policy on occupational safety, occupational health and the working environment, in accordance with Article 4 of the Convention. The Government is requested to indicate, in its next report, the progress made in this regard and the measures taken to ensure the application of the other provisions of this Convention.
