Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 2004, published 93rd ILC session (2005)

Occupational Safety and Health Convention, 1981 (No. 155) - Sweden (Ratification: 1982)

The Committee notes that the Government’s report has not been received. It hopes that a report will be supplied for examination by the Committee at its next session and that it will contain full information on the matters raised in its previous direct request, which read as follows:

Article 5(e) of the Convention. The Committee notes that the Government’s report does not contain a reply to its previous comment. The Committee recalls that the Government had indicated in an earlier report that guarantees corresponding to those established by Chapter 6, section 10, of the Work Environment Act for safety delegates do not exist for all employees, but that this question can be settled through collective agreements. The Committee would be grateful if the Government would provide samples of relevant collective agreements and information on any further measures envisaged under the national policy in this regard.
