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

Safety Provisions (Building) Convention, 1937 (No. 62) - Mauritania (Ratification: 1963)

1. Article 13, paragraph 2, of the Convention. With reference to its previous comments, the Committee notes with interest that Order No. 030 of 26 May 1992 establishes the minimum age of persons in control of hoisting machinery or responsible for giving signals to the operators.

2. Article 6. For a number of years, the Committee has been noting that States which ratify the present Convention undertake to communicate to the International Labour Office the most recent statistical information on the number and classification of accidents occurring to persons occupied on work within the scope of the Convention. It notes that the Government has not provided this information since 1967. In its report concerning the application of the Convention for the period ending 30 June 1989, the Government stated that the statistical information requested was not available and that it was its intention to forward such information in the near future. The Committee hopes that this information will be supplied in the near future and that it will also show the number of persons occupied in the building industry and the number of persons who are covered by the statistics.
