Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 1994, published 81st ILC session (1994)

Occupational Safety and Health Convention, 1981 (No. 155) - Uruguay (Ratification: 1988)

The Committee notes with interest the information provided in the Government's latest report and the creation of the tripartite Co-ordination Group on Occupational Safety and Workplace Environment Conditions. It further notes the draft Bill on the creation of a National Commission on Occupational Safety which sets out a national policy on occupational safety, occupational health and the working environment, in accordance with Article 4 of the Convention. The Committee hopes that this Bill will be adopted in the near future and that it will ensure the full application of the Convention. The Government is requested to indicate, in its next report, the progress made in this regard.
