Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 1993, published 80th ILC session (1993)

Guarding of Machinery Convention, 1963 (No. 119) - Paraguay (Ratification: 1967)

The Committee notes that the Government's report has not been received. It hopes that a report will be supplied for examination by the Committee at its next session and that it will contain full information on the following matters raised in its previous direct request, which read as follows:

Article 2, paragraphs 1 and 2, and Articles 4 and 15, of the Convention. In reply to the Committee's previous comments, the Government has indicated that it will take these into consideration to ensure better application of the Convention. The Committee asks the Government to indicate in its next report the measures taken or envisaged to ensure that, among the persons responsible for ensuring the guarding of machinery, should be included those who sell, rent, transfer in any other manner or exhibit such machines, and that penal sanctions should be foreseen in case of infraction.
