Legislation. The Committee notes the Government’s indication according to which numerous amendments have been made to the legislation in order to improve the implementation of the provisions of the Convention. Particularly, the Committee notes that Cabinet Regulation No. 195 on the safety of machinery (25 March 2008), which repeals Cabinet Regulation No. 186 of May 2000, prescribes detailed measures for workplaces and operating areas and introduces supplementary measures for control systems and protective devices in order to improve the safety of machinery. The Committee requests the Government to continue to provide information on legislative measures undertaken with regards to the application of the Convention.
Application of the Convention in practice. The Committee notes the statistical information provided by the Government concerning the number of suspended equipment and machinery; the number of accidents and occupational diseases reported concerning operators of equipment and machinery; and the number of penalties and violations. The Committee also notes that while the number of reported accidents and occupational diseases had been steadily decreasing since 2009, it has significantly increased in 2013. The Committee requests the Government to provide information on measures undertaken or envisaged to address this increase, and to continue to provide information on the application of the Convention in practice.
