Legislation. With reference to its previous comments, the Committee deplores the fact that the Government still does not appear to have taken the necessary steps to adopt a legislative text concerning ports and dockers pursuant to Act No. 88-07 of 26 January 1988 on occupational hygiene, safety and medicine, as it indicated it would do several times in its previous reports. The Committee requests the Government to adopt in the very near future the legislative provisions necessary to ensure the protection of dockers against accidents, giving full effect to the provisions of the Convention, and to send a copy to the ILO once they have been adopted.
Article 17 of the Convention and Part V of the report form. Labour inspection and occupational accidents. The Committee notes that the number of occupational accidents for all Algerian ports was 125 in the first quarter of 2010 and 220 during 2011. It also notes that the Government has not provided any statistics of accidents involving dockers, or any general observations on the manner in which the Convention is applied (for example, extracts of the reports of inspection services, up-to-date statistical information on the number of inspections carried out, the number of infringements reported and the number, nature and causes of accidents recorded). The Committee requests the Government to provide information on the application of the Convention in practice, including on the measures taken to reduce the number of occupational accidents and increase awareness of safety issues.
