The Committee notes with deep concern that the Government’s report has not been received. It expects that the next report will contain full information on the matters raised in its previous comments. The Committee informs the Government that, if it has not supplied replies to the points raised by 1 September 2020, then it may proceed with the examination of the application of the Convention on the basis of the information at its disposal at its next session.
Repetition
Legislation. With reference to its previous comments, the Committee notes with interest that the Workplace Safety and Health Act (No. 7 of 2006) (the WSH Act) recognizes the importance of managing safety and health using a management system approach. The WSH Act applies to works carried out in the ports and it adopts an outcome-based approach ensuring that risks are eliminated or mitigated at source. The Committee also notes that the Government developed a subsidiary legislation under the WSH Act, the Workplace Safety and Health (Shipbuilding and Ship-repairing) Regulations 2008, as well as a new Code of Practice on Safe Lifting Operations and a number of guidelines that encourage better WSH practices in ports, and it also revised the WSH (Operation of Crane) Regulation 2008. Furthermore, the Government established the WSH Institute that works with the WSH Council. The Committee requests the Government to continue providing information on any development in this respect.
Article 17(2) of the Convention and Part V of the report form. Application in practice. The Committee notes from the Government’s previous reports that between 1995 and 2011, the number of inspections carried out and of penalties imposed in the ports appears to be decreasing from 756 to 394 and from 1,406 to 17 respectively. The Committee requests the Government to explain the reasons of these trends and to indicate the measures taken to address them.
