The Committee notes with regret that the Government’s reports received in 2006, 2007 and 2008 do not contain any new information nor any reply to its previous comments and that the Government’s report for 2009 has not been received. It must therefore repeat its previous observation which read as follows:

Articles 1 and 17 of the Convention. Scope of application. The Committee reminds the Government that, for more than 30 years, the Committee has drawn the Government’s attention to the need to extend the legislation giving effect to the Convention to agriculture, forestry, road and rail transport and shipping. In its 1986 report, the Government indicated that it was due to submit the Committee’s observations to the tripartite National Advisory Committee on Labour so that it could examine them and take the necessary steps to give full effect to the provisions of the Convention. The Committee trusts that, in the context of the revision of the labour legislation launched with the adoption of the Labour Code in 2003, the Government will focus on the need to revise the legislation in the field of occupational safety and health, especially in order to give effect to the Convention. The Committee urges the Government to take the necessary steps in the very near future to ensure the guarding of machinery in all sectors of economic activity, particularly agriculture, forestry, road and rail transport and shipping, and invites the Government to request assistance from the ILO in due course in order to ensure the effective application of the provisions of the Convention.

The Committee hopes that the Government will make every effort to take the necessary action in the very near future.

[The Government is asked to report in detail in 2010.]
