The Committee notes the observations of the General Confederation of Labour of the Argentine Republic (CGT RA), received on 2 September 2015, which indicate the absence of regulations under section 176 of the Labour Contracts Act (No. 20.744). The Committee notes in this regard the Government’s indication in its reply that section 11 of Act No. 11.317, of 30 September 1924, prohibits women from being employed in underground work. The Government adds that section 176 of Act No. 20.744 is supplementary to this provision and does not require regulations.

With regard to its previous comments on the intention to ratify the Safety and Health in Mines Convention, 1995 (No. 176), the Committee notes the Government’s indication in its report that a Bill has been submitted for this purpose. The Committee also notes the information provided by the Government concerning the publication by the Occupational Risk Supervisory Authority (SRT) of a “Handbook of good practice for the mining industry” for the prevention of occupational hazards and the protection and promotion of health, developed in collaboration and agreement with the various social partners.
