The Committee notes that the Government’s report has not been received. It is therefore bound to repeat its previous comments.
Repetition
Article 1 of the Convention. New legislation and regulations. The Committee notes the Government’s indication that the Rwanda Building Control Regulations, established in May 2012 by the Ministry of Infrastructure in collaboration with the Rwanda Housing Authority, contain many provisions of the repealed Ordinance No. 21/94 of 23 July 1953 regulating occupational safety in the building industry, and that any remaining legal voids will be addressed through the ongoing review of Act No. 13/2009 regulating labour in Rwanda and its application orders, and of Ministerial Order No. 02 of 17 May 2012 determining general conditions for occupational safety and health. However, the Committee notes that the Government does not indicate the specific provisions of the Building Control Regulations which give effect to the Convention and is therefore unable to effectively appreciate if these Regulations address the legal voids concerned. The Committee requests the Government to indicate the specific provisions of the legislation in force, and to provide information on any other measures, which ensure the application of the general rules set forth in Parts II to IV of the Convention. It also requests the Government to take immediate action to fill the legal voids still remaining following the abrogation of Ordinance No. 21/94 and to provide information on any developments in this regard.
Articles 4 and 6. Labour inspection and statistical information. Application in practice. The Committee notes the Government’s indication that a comprehensive exercise for the establishment of a country profile on occupational safety and health was concluded in 2012. It further notes that, despite the Government’s indication, the 2013 report on labour inspection and the report containing updated statistical information on occupational accidents have not been provided. The Committee also refers the Government to its comments relating to the application of the Labour Inspection Convention, 1947 (No. 81). The Committee therefore once again reminds the Government of its obligations under Article 6 of the Convention and requests the Government to ensure that its next report includes statistical information relating to the number and classification of accidents occurring to persons occupied in work within the scope of this Convention, and any other information relevant to the application of this Convention in practice. The Committee also requests the Government to provide further information on the 2012 country profile on occupational safety and health and to communicate a copy with its next report.
The Committee hopes that the Government will make every effort to take the necessary action in the near future.
