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

The Committee takes note of the Government’s report.

Part IV of the report form. The Committee notes the statistics supplied with the Government’s report concerning the violations detected in the area of safety and health in commerce and offices by the labour inspection services for the period 1997-2001. The Committee notes with concern the increasing number of infractions identified, in particular with regard to sanitary conveniences and facilities for leaving clothing and other related services, personal protection equipment, medical services and services for the health surveillance of workers. The Committee observes that the above violations would affect in particular the application in practice of Articles 15, 17 and 19 of the Convention. The Committee therefore requests the Government to indicate the measures taken or envisaged and the number and nature of contraventions reported with a view to remedying the infractions observed by the labour inspection services so as to ensure that the number and provisions of this Convention are fully applied in practice.
