Convenio sobre la edad mínima (trabajo subterráneo), 1965 (núm. 123) - Gabón (Ratificación : 1968)

The Committee notes that the Government’s report has not been received. It hopes that the next report will contain full information on the matters raised in its previous comments.

Repetition

Article 4(4)(b) of the Convention. Records of persons who are employed or work underground. In its previous comments, the Committee noted that General Order No. 3018 of 29 September 1953 establishes the model for employers’ records. It noted that, although section 2 of the Order requires that employers’ records must specify the date of entry of workers in to the establishment and their age, the requirements of Article 4(4)(b) of the Convention are not all met.

The Committee notes the Government’s indication in its report that it has not taken any measures to amend General Order No. 3018, but that it will keep the Committee informed of any changes made or envisaged in this connection.The Committee is therefore bound, once again, to request that the Government take the necessary measures to bring General Order No. 3018 into compliance with the requirements of Article 4(4)(b) of the Convention by providing that lists of persons under 21 years of age who are employed or work underground shall be made available to workers’ representatives, and that the lists shall indicate the date of birth of such persons.
