1.  The Committee notes the information contained in the Government’s report on the application of Article 12 of the Convention.

2. In its previous comments the Committee requested the Government to provide a copy of the collective labour agreement which has been prepared by the tripartite technical working group set up to study the protection of mechanical presses. Since the agreement has not been submitted the Committee reiterates its request and asks the Government to communicate a copy of the agreement in question.

3.  Article 11 of the Convention.Prohibition of the use of machinery without guards. In its previous comments, the Committee requested the Government to indicate the provisions or measures of a formal nature that ensure that no worker is required to use any machinery without the guards provided being in position and that no such guards are made inoperative. The Government refers in this connection to article 161 of the Law 6514 of 22 December 1977 which stipulates that the Regional Labour Office, in the light of the findings of the competent technical service showing serious and imminent danger to the worker, may place a prohibition on the establishment, service sector, machine or equipment, or an embargo on the work, indicating the decision taken, and, as expeditiously as circumstances demand, the measures to be adopted to prevent accidents at work and occupational diseases. Noting this information the Committee requests the Government to indicate whether there are more specific provisions giving effect to Article 11, paragraph 1, of the Convention, ensuring no worker may be required to use any machinery without the guards provided being in position.
