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

Maximum Weight Convention, 1967 (No. 127) - Tunisia (Ratification: 1970)

Referring to its previous comments, the Committee notes with regret that the draft order to amend the Order of 5 May 1988 determining the maximum weight that may be handled by a single worker has still not been adopted. Since 1997 the Government has been indicating that the draft in question has still to be submitted to the commission responsible for reviewing it and to the workers’ and employers’ organizations. In view of the time that has elapsed since then, the Committee is bound to express the hope that the draft order will be adopted promptly to give effect to Articles 3 and 7 of the Convention, which have been the subject of comments by the Committee for a very long time.

[The Government is requested to report in detail in 2006.]
