The Committee notes with interest the indication in the Government's report that the Regulations concerning safety and health and occupational medicine have been adopted and will be sent to the Office as soon as they have been printed. It further notes the Government's indication that these Regulations cover enterprises operated by the State, municipalities and other autonomous or self-governing bodies. The Committee hopes that the new legislation will ensure the application of the following Articles of the Convention which have been the subject of its comments since 1973: Article 10 (maintenance of a comfortable and steady temperature), Article 18 (reduction of noise and vibrations) and Article 4(b) of the Convention (to give such effect as may be possible and desirable under national conditions to the Hygiene (Commerce and Offices) Recommendation, 1964 (No. 120)). The Government is requested to send a copy of the Regulations concerning safety and health and occupational medicine to the Office as soon as a printed copy is available.
