Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 1999, published 88th ILC session (2000)

Hygiene (Commerce and Offices) Convention, 1964 (No. 120) - Bolivia (Plurinational State of) (Ratification: 1977)

The Committee notes that the Government, while recognizing that the General Act on Occupational Safety and Health and Welfare contains no specific provisions expressly applying the standards set out in the Convention, considers that specific regulations should be established. In this connection, the Committee recalls that specific measures need to be taken to ensure that Article 14 of the Convention (the compulsory provision of seats for workers) and Article 15 (the provision of suitable facilities for workers to change their clothing in the establishments covered by the Convention) are applied.

The Committee once again expresses the hope that the regulations necessary to give full effect to the Convention, in particular to Articles 14 and 15, will be adopted in the near future. It requests the Government to indicate all progress achieved in this regard.
