Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 1989, published 76th ILC session (1989)

Hygiene (Commerce and Offices) Convention, 1964 (No. 120) - Spain (Ratification: 1970)

The Committee notes the Government's statement, in reply to its previous direct request, that the updating of the General Ordinance on Safety and Health at Work has been postponed until the directive on minimum standards of health and safety in the workplace, which is presently being prepared by the European Economic Community, is finalised. The Government reiterates that the updated ordinance will explicitly include the provisions of Article 14 of the Convention (all workers to be supplied with sufficient and suitable seats). The Committee hopes that the next report will indicate the progress made in this regard.
