The Committee notes that the Government’s report has not been received. It hopes that the next report will contain full information on the matters raised in its previous comments.

Repetition
Legislation. The Committee notes the Government’s brief report confirming that, in order to implement the Labour Code, the development of occupational safety and health (OSH) regulations has been envisaged. With reference thereto, as well as to the comments submitted by the All Afghanistan Federation of Trade Unions (AAFTU) referred to in its previous comments, the Committee again expresses the hope that the Government will now proceed to take the necessary action to give effect to the specific requirements in the Convention, and to keep the Office informed of any progress in this respect.
Application in practice. The Committee also notes the information that the Labour Inspection Department regularly checks the OSH conditions in workplaces, the use of personal protective equipment and the carrying out of medical examinations, and sanctioning violations when found. The Committee also notes the information provided regarding awareness campaigns conducted on the importance of the use of personal protective equipment. Against this background the Committee requests the Government to provide a general appreciation of the manner in which the Convention is applied in the country, including, for instance, extracts from the reports of the inspection services, and the number and nature of the contraventions reported.
