Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 1989, published 76th ILC session (1989)

Prevention of Accidents (Seafarers) Convention, 1970 (No. 134) - Uruguay (Ratification: 1977)

The Committee notes the information provided by the Government in reply to its previous direct request concerning the application of Articles 3 and 6, paragraph 4, of the Convention. The Committee asks the Government to supply additional information on the following points:

Article 4, paragraph 3(h), of the Convention. What measures (legislation, codes of practice or other) have been taken to apply this provision of the Convention, given that Maritime Instruction No. 18 contains no provisions in this regard?

Article 8. The Committee notes with interest that the executive authority is studying a draft Decree which would establish the creation of joint safety and occupational health committees in all relevant enterprises, including ships flying the national flag which are not ships of war. The Committee hopes that this Decree will be approved in the near future.
