Convention (n° 119) sur la protection des machines, 1963 - Equateur (Ratification: 1969)

Article 4 of the Convention. The Committee notes the information provided by the Government in its report.

The Committee notes in particular the functions of the various institutions that compose the machinery to apply, execute and supervise compliance with the Regulations on the Health and Safety of Workers and the Improvement of the Working Environment, adopted by Decree No. 2393 of 13 November 1986. This text determines responsibility and some sanctions imposed for non-compliance with its provisions, but does not determine the persons covered by Article 4 of the Convention on whom the obligation rests to apply the provisions of Article 2 of the Convention. The Committee once again requests the Government to indicate the manner in which the obligation to ensure compliance with the provisions of Article 2 is imposed on the vendor, the person letting out on hire or transferring the machinery in any other manner, or the exhibitor, the manufacturer when he sells machinery, lets it out on hire, transfers it in any other manner or exhibits it, or their respective agents.
