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

1. The Committee notes the Government’s report. It also notes the information on new standards most relevant to the application of the provisions of the Convention.

2. Part IV of the report form. With reference to its previous comments, the Committee notes the statistics supplied in the Government’s report on contraventions recorded by the labour inspectorate in relation to safety and health in commerce and offices for the period 2002-03. The Committee notes that most columns in the table show a reduction in the number of contraventions. There are figures, however, which reflect an increase in the number of contraventions regarding medical services. These contraventions affect the application in practice of Article 19 of the Convention. The Committee requests the Government to indicate the measures taken or envisaged and the nature of the contraventions recorded for the purpose of rectifying the offences detected by the labour inspection services in order to ensure that this provision of the Convention is applied fully in practice. The Committee also refers to paragraphs 1 to 6 of its comments under Convention No. 155.
