Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 2013, published 103rd ILC session (2014)

Guarding of Machinery Convention, 1963 (No. 119) - Russian Federation (Ratification: 1969)

Legislation. The Committee notes the information provided by the Government and its reference to certain instruments giving effect to the provision of the Convention. However it notes that the requested copies of the instruments were not included in its report. This legislation includes inter alia: the Machine Safety Requirements for Metal Work GOST EN 12417-2006; and Machine Safety, Basic Concepts and General Principles, Part 2, Technical Principles, GOST R ISO 12100-2-2007; the Inter-sectoral Rules on Labour Protection in using industrial transport (conveyors, pipelines and other means of non interrupting performance), No. 36 of 17 June 2003, POT R M-029-2003; the decision of the Ministry of Health No. 100 of 26 May 2003, to approve Hygienic Requirements to the Organization of Technological Processes, Equipment and Tools, SP 2.2.2.1327-03; and the Technical Standard GOST 12.4.125-83 “SBBT – Means for the collective protection of workers against the effects of mechanical factors. General security requirements”. The Committee draws the Government’s attention to the fact that the report should provide a list of the relevant legislation which gives effect to the Convention, indicating in detail for each Article of the Convention the provisions of the applied legislation. The Committee therefore requests the Government to provide with its next report the text of the relevant legislation giving effect to each Article of the Convention, so that it could assess the implementation of the Convention.

Part V of the report form. Application in practice. The Committee notes the absence of information from the Government on this point. Therefore, the Committee once again requests the Government to provide further information covering a longer time period on the manner in which the Convention is applied in practice, including, for instance, extracts from official reports of the Labour Inspectorate Service, statistics on the number of workers covered by the legislation, the number and nature of the contraventions reported, as well as any other information allowing the Committee to assess more accurately how the Convention is applied in practice in the country.
