Hygiene (Commerce and Offices) Convention, 1964 (No. 120) - Iraq (Ratification: 1987)

Article 10 of the Convention. Maintaining a comfortable and steady temperature in all premises used by workers. The Committee previously noted that new instructions on maintaining a comfortable and steady temperature in workplaces were under consideration. Noting the absence of information in the Government’s report on this point, the Committee requests the Government to indicate if the instructions on maintaining a comfortable and steady temperature in workplaces have been adopted.

Article 14. Provision of suitable seats in offices and other workplaces. Noting the absence of information in the Government’s report in this regard, the Committee once again requests the Government to provide information on the measures taken to ensure that all premises are equipped with sufficient and suitable seats.

Article 16. Underground and windowless working premises. Recalling that Article 16 of the Convention requires that underground or windowless premises in which work is normally performed comply with appropriate standards of hygiene, the Committee requests the Government to provide information on any measures taken or envisaged to establish standards in that regard.
