Further to its previous comments, the Committee notes the Government’s statement that the national legislation does not include labour standards as specific as those indicated in Articles 7(g) and 13(e) of the Safety and Health in Mines Convention, 1995 (No. 176). The Committee notes however that the Government also indicates that it has adopted Official Mexican Standard NOM‑032‑STPS‑2008 concerning safety in underground coal mines, which replaces Standard NOM-023-STPS-2003 and that according to the Government, the fundamental objective of the new Standard is to create a legislative framework to establish better conditions of safety in the installations and operation of coalfields and to ensure that the safety measures and maximum permissible limits are in line with international standards and incorporate existing technological advances. The Committee requests the Government to continue providing information on any developments in the legislation on this matter and on its application in practice.
