The Committee notes that the Government’s report has not been received. It hopes that a report will be supplied for examination by the Committee at its next session and that it will contain full information on the matters raised in its previous direct request, which read as follows:

The Committee notes the very brief information contained in the Government’s report and the information on the survey carried out in 2000 by the General Labour Inspectorate.

Article 7(1) and (2) of the Convention. Maximum weight of loads that can be transported by women and young workers. For a number of years, the Committee has noted that section 26 of Executive Decree No. 91-05 of 19 January 1991 sets the maximum weight of loads that may be transported manually by women of 18 years and over at 25 kg. In this connection, the Committee drew the Government’s attention to the ILO publication Maximum weights in load lifting and carrying (Occupational Safety and Health Series, No. 59, Geneva, 1988), which recommends for ergonomic reasons a limit of 15 kg for the admissible load for occasional lifting and carrying for women aged between 19 and 45 years. The Committee trusts that the Government will speedily take the necessary measures to give full effect to the provisions of this Article.

Article 6. Technical devices used to limit or to facilitate the manual transport of loads. The Committee notes that the Government’s report contains no details on this type of technical device used to limit or to facilitate the manual transport of goods. The Committee urges the Government to provide more detailed information in its next report on the technical devices used in order to limit or to facilitate the manual transport of loads.
