The Committee notes the information provided by the Government in its report. It notes the adoption of different laws and regulations that have a bearing on safety in the construction industry.

Article 4 of the Convention. The Committee notes the restructuring of and the new direction given to labour inspection effective as of 1 July 1999, in application of Law 2639/98 providing for labour relations, establishment of the labour inspectorate and other provisions. The Committee requests the Government to continue to provide information to the Office on any follow-up given to the restructuring of labour inspection and in particular as concerns labour inspection in the building industry.

Article 6. The Committee notes the information provided by the Government on the number of persons working in the building industry and who are thus covered by the statistics supplied. The Committee encourages the Government to continue to provide the Office with information on the practical application of the Convention.

The Committee draws the Government’s attention to the Safety and Health in Construction Convention, 1988 (No. 167), which revises Convention No. 62 of 1937 and which might be more adapted to the current situation of the building industry. The Committee recalls that the Governing Body of the ILO had invited member States parties to Convention No. 62, to contemplate ratifying Convention No. 167, the ratification of which will, ipso jure, imply the immediate denunciation of Convention No. 62 (document GB.268/8/2). The Committee asks the Government to provide information on any developments in this regard.
