Article 12 of the Convention. Measures required to ensure that the obligations of those who design, manufacture, import, provide or transfer machinery, equipment or substances for occupational use, are carried in the specified manner. The Committee once again requests the Government to provide information on the measures taken to ensure that full effect, in law and in practice, is given to this Article of the Convention.
Article 14. Measures to promote the inclusion of questions of OSH and the working environment at all levels of education and training. The Committee once again requests the Government to provide information on measures taken to promote questions of occupational health and safety and the working environment at all levels of education and training, including higher technical, medical and professional education.
Article 16. Action at the level of the undertaking. The Committee previously noted that sections D13(1)(g) and D13(1)(h) of the Labour Code prescribe controlling measures to be taken by employers in respect of work being carried out with white phosphorous and benzene. Noting an absence of further information in this respect, the Committee once again requests the Government to provide information on employers’ obligations to take measures ensuring that other chemicals, as well as physical and biological substances or agents under their control, are without risk to health when appropriate measures are taken.
