Demande directe (CEACR) - adoptée 2010, publiée 100ème session CIT (2011)

Convention (n° 59) (révisée) de l'âge minimum (industrie), 1937 - Gibraltar

Article 5 of the Convention. In its previous comments, the Committee noted the Government’s indication that it intended to enact legislation so as to prescribe the age of 16 for the admission to employment which is hazardous. The Committee expressed the hope that the amendment would be made in the near future, to ensure conformity with Article 5 of the Convention. The Committee notes the Government’s statement that this amendment was incorporated into the Working Time Act. The Committee notes with interest that section 12 of the Working Time Act states that “[n]o person under the age of 16 years shall be admitted to any employment which, by its nature or the circumstances in which it is carried on, is dangerous to life, health or morals of the persons employed therein”.
