Part V of the report form. Application in practice. The Committee notes that the Government indicated in 2010 that the maritime authorities maintained records on occupational accidents in ports, but these data were not subject to any particular analysis.The Committee requests the Government to provide the information it considers useful on the manner in which the Convention is applied, in particular the relevant reports of the inspection services on the number of workers protected by legislation, the number and nature of the contraventions reported, and the number, nature and causes of accidents reported.

Possibility of ratifying the most up-to-date Convention.The Committee takes this opportunity to encourage the Government to give effect to the decision adopted by the Governing Body at its 328th Session (October–November 2016) approving the recommendations of the Standards Review Mechanism Tripartite Working Group, and to envisage ratifying the Occupational Safety and Health (Dock Work) Convention, 1979 (No. 152), which is the most up-to-date instrument in this area.
