Observation (CEACR) - adopted 2007, published 97th ILC session (2008)

Hygiene (Commerce and Offices) Convention, 1964 (No. 120) - Senegal (Ratification: 1966)

The Committee notes that the Government’s report has not been received. It must therefore repeat its previous observation which read as follows:

1. The Committee notes that the procedure for the adoption of a new draft decree establishing the general hygiene and safety measures for establishments of all types is still ongoing. The Government indicates that the text of this decree will be sent to the Committee as soon as it has been formally adopted. The Committee requests the Government to provide a copy of the decision once it is adopted.

2. Articles 14 and 18 of the Convention. Seats for all workers and protection against noise and vibrations. As in its previous comments, the Committee notes with concern that the legislative process begun in 1992 has never been completed. The Committee hopes, once again, that the procedure for the adoption of the decree in question will be completed in the very near future so as to give effect to the provisions of Articles 14 and 18 of the Convention.

The Committee hopes that the Government will make every effort to take the necessary measures in the very near future.
