Legislation. The Committee notes with interest the adoption of the Occupational Safety and Health Act 2005 with effect from 1 September 2007, and which replaced the Occupational, Safety, Health and Welfare Act, 1988, and which gives further effect to the Convention. The Committee invites the Government to continue to provide information on any relevant legislative measures undertaken concerning the application of the Convention.
Article 9 of the Convention. Measures taken to ensure the safe functioning of hoisting machines and all fixed gear accessory thereto. The Committee notes the information provided by the Government in the report that The Merchant Shipping Act 2007, which replaced the Merchant Shipping Act 1986 with effect from 1 June 2009, does not cover the provisions of this Article. The Committee notes that steps are being taken by the Ministry of Public Infrastructure, National Development Unit, Land Transport and Shipping to prepare and come up with appropriate regulations under the Merchant Shipping Act 2007 to cover surveys and inspections of ships. The Committee asks the Government to inform the Office and to provide copies of the legislation once it has been adopted.
Part V of the report form. Application in practice. The Committee notes that in its reply to the Committee’s previous comments on the outcome of the 15 inspections of workplaces involved in dock work, carried out between 1 June 2001 and 31 May 2007, the Government indicates that the Health and Safety Officer of the Cargo Handling Corporation carried out daily inspections of incoming vessels, wharves and quays, and that cranes or lifting machines/blocks, air compressors, receivers, loaders, grabs and forklifts are regularly being inspected by a Registered Machinery Inspector. The Committee also notes that six inspections at workplaces involved in dock work during the period of 1 June 2007 to 31 May 2012 were carried out by the Occupational Safety and Health Inspectorate of the Ministry of Labour, Industrial Relations and Employment. The Committee requests the Government to provide information on the outcome of these inspections, the violations noted and penalties imposed as regards issues covered by the Convention and continue to provide information on the practical application of the Convention.
