Observation (CEACR) - adopted 1995, published 83rd ILC session (1996)

Guarding of Machinery Convention, 1963 (No. 119) - Latvia (Ratification: 1993)

The Committee takes note of the comments provided by the Free Trade Union Federation of Latvia (LBAS) relating to the application of the Convention. The LBAS considers the Convention as partly applied because of the use of obsolete machines: the employees have higher risk of accidents. In the absence of a reply by the Government, the Committee hopes that the Government will supply full information on any measures taken to apply the Convention to all power-driven machinery.
