Convention (n° 62) concernant les prescriptions de sécurité (bâtiment), 1937 - Mauritanie (Ratification: 1963)

Article 6 of the Convention. The Committee draws the Government's attention to the fact that, by virtue of this Article, all Members that have ratified the Convention must communicate to the International Labour Office the statistical information on the number and classification of accidents sustained by persons occupied in the building sector. It notes that the Government has not provided this type of information since 1967. The Government indicates in its report that the statistical information required is not at present available and will be transmitted to the ILO in the near future. The Committee would be grateful if the Government would provide this information in its next report.

Article 13, paragraph 2. The Committee refers to the comments it has been making for a number of years on the need to give effect to the provision of the Convention that specifies a minimum age to be fixed by the national legislation for the operation of hoisting machine or for giving signals to the operator. It notes from the Government's report that the draft Labour Code has not yet been adopted by the competent authority with the result that the Order drawn up during the direct contacts of 1979 to bring the national regulations into harmony with Article 13, paragraph 2, of the Convention has not yet been published. The Committee again expresses the hope that the Order in question will be adopted as soon as possible and that the Government will be able to provide a copy of it.
