Observation (CEACR) - adopted 2012, published 102nd ILC session (2013)

Protection against Accidents (Dockers) Convention (Revised), 1932 (No. 32) - Argentina (Ratification: 1950)

The Committee notes the Government’s indication that, since there are no new provisions relating to the subject in question, reference should be made to information contained in previous reports. The Committee notes that the Government has not supplied the information requested in its previous observation. The Committee is therefore bound to repeat its previous comments on the application of the Convention, which read as follows:

Repetition

The Committee notes the information contained in the Government’s report. It also notes that the provisions of Article 8 of the Convention, Safety measures regarding hatch coverings and beams used for hatch coverings; Article 13, paragraph 2, Rescue measures in the event of workers falling into the water; Article 14, Prohibition against removing or interfering with fencing, gangways, gear, ladders, etc.; and Article 18, Reciprocal arrangements, are still not covered by specific regulations as required by the Convention. The Committee hopes that the Government will adopt the necessary measures in the near future.
