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

Working Environment (Air Pollution, Noise and Vibration) Convention, 1977 (No. 148) - Norway (Ratification: 1979)

Further to its previous comments, the Committee notes with interest the information contained in the Government's report on provisions of national legislation applicable to agriculture and forestry regarding pollution, noise, vibration and personal protective equipment.

Articles 8 and 9 of the Convention. The Committee notes with interest the information supplied by the Government in reply to its previous comments indicating the adoption of new and updating standards and guides with respect to noise and vibration. The Committee notes that there are no exposure limits for vibration established yet, and work on general provisions regulating vibration in the working environment is being deferred pending the EU directive on physical agents which is under preparation. The Committee would be grateful if the Government would keep the Office informed of any progress made in this regard.
