1. The Committee notes the information provided by the Government in its report. It notes the adoption of the Workplace Safety and Health Act (No. 7 of 2006) replacing the Factories Act (No. 6 of 1973), which provides a new framework of occupational safety and health standards based on the principles including reducing risk at the source, making employers responsible for developing safe work procedures, and preventing accidents. With reference to information provided in the previous report, the Committee requests the Government to clarify whether and to what extent, the new Workplace Safety and Health Act has any impact on other legislation applying the Convention in the country.

2. Part V of the report form. Practical application. With reference to statistical information provided by the Government in its earlier report, the Committee requests the Government to provide up to date statistical information on the number of inspections carried out, violations noted and penalties imposed as regards issues covered by the Convention.

3. The Committee takes the opportunity to recall that the Governing Body of the ILO has invited parties to Convention No. 32 to consider ratification of Convention No. 152, which revised Convention No. 32 (GB.268/LILS/5(Rev.1), paragraphs 99–101). Such ratification would automatically entail an immediate denunciation of Convention No. 32. The Committee also wishes to bring to the Government’s attention an ILO 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 following the 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.
