Observation (CEACR) - adopted 2009, published 99th ILC session (2010)

Maximum Weight Convention, 1967 (No. 127) - Madagascar (Ratification: 1971)

Article 3 of the Convention. Establishment of maximum weight for manual transport. The Committee notes with interest the information in the Government’s latest report, indicating the unanimous decision by the relevant ministries to set the maximum weight for the manual transport of any load by a single male adult worker at 50 kg. The Committee hopes that the inter-ministerial order giving full effect to the provisions of the Convention, including its Article 3, will come into effect without any further delay.
