Convenio sobre la higiene (comercio y oficinas), 1964 (núm. 120) - Senegal (Ratificación : 1966)

Further to its previous comments, the Committee takes note of the amendments made to the Labour Code by Act No. 87-29 of 18 August 1987 which contains general provisions in matters of health and safety. The Committee notes, however, that the draft Order laying down health and safety regulations has still not been adopted. The Committee must, therefore, reiterate the hope that the draft will be adopted in the very near future and that it will require the provision of seats for all workers, as called for in Article 14 of the Convention, and provide for the reduction of noise and vibrations likely to have harmful effects on workers, as required by Article 18. It also hopes that the draft will give such effect as may be possible and desirable under national conditions to the provisions of the Hygiene (Commerce and Offices) Recommendation, 1964, in accordance with Article 4(b) of the Convention.
