Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 1988, published 75th ILC session (1988)

Safety Provisions (Building) Convention, 1937 (No. 62) - France (Ratification: 1950)

The Committee takes note of the information supplied by the Government in its report and notes with interest the creation - pursuant to Decree No. 85-682 of 4 July 1985 - of a new occupational body responsible for promoting the prevention of accidents and the improvement of working conditions in the building industry. The Committee hopes that the action taken by this new body will contribute to reducing the number of occupational accidents in the above-mentioned industry, which still appears to be relatively high, according to the 1984 statistics supplied by the Government. The Committee also hopes that future reports will contain more recent statistical data on this subject.
