Article 7 of the Convention. In its previous comments, the Committee recalled that, based on the conclusions and proposals of the Working Party on Policy regarding the Revision of Standards, the ILO Governing Body decided to invite the States parties to Convention No. 45 to ratify the Safety and Health in Mines Convention, 1995 (No. 176), and possibly to denounce Convention No. 45, although this latter instrument has not been formally revised (see GB.283/LILS/WP/PRS/1/2, paragraph 13). Contrary to the former approach based on the outright prohibition of underground work for all women workers, modern standards focus on risk assessment and risk management and provide for preventive measures for mineworkers, irrespective of gender, whether employed in surface or underground sites. The Committee notes that the Government reports that it will proceed to denounce this Convention during the next period in which its denunciation is permitted, which will be from 30 May 2017 to 30 May 2018. The Government adds that its efforts will be focused on risk prevention and in this regard refers to Act No. 618, the General Safety and Health Act of 2007, and to the General Occupational Safety and Health in Mines Regulations of 2000. The Committee invites the Government to provide information on any developments in this respect.
