The Committee notes that the Government reiterates that the issues raised by the Committee would have been addressed in a new National Occupational Safety and Health Act. According to available information the new Act has not yet been adopted. The Committee reiterates its request to the Government to submit copies of any new legislation as soon as it has been adopted; and to provide information on the measures undertaken and envisaged to give full effect to all the provisions of the Convention, including, in particular, Articles 4, 7, 8, and 11 of the Convention.
Part V of the report form. Application in practice.

The Committee also notes that among the employment injuries by cause, the number of accidental falls has increased from 481 in 2005 to 594 in 2009 with a peak in 2008 of 678.
