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

The Committee notes that the Government’s report, which indicates that the application of the Convention in the country is satisfactory, does not reply to its previous comment. It hopes that the next report will contain full information on the matters raised in its previous comments, which read as follows:

Repetition

Application in practice. The Committee notes the Government’s reply on criteria established under sections 124(1)(a)–(h) of the Labour Act, 2003 and section 75 of the Factories, Offices and Shops Act, 1970. The Committee further notes that inspectors are expected to conduct a minimum of 48 routine establishment inspections. The Committee asks the Government to give a general appreciation of the manner in which the Convention is applied in the country, and to provide, where such statistics exist, information on the number and nature of the contraventions reported, and the number, nature and cause of occupational accidents and diseases reported.
