Solicitud directa (CEACR) - Adopción: 1998, Publicación: 87ª reunión CIT (1999)

Convenio sobre las prescripciones de seguridad (edificación), 1937 (núm. 62) - Guinea (Ratificación : 1966)

The Committee notes with interest the Government's reply to its previous comments which concerned the Committee's general observation addressed to governments in 1988 concerning statistical information required by Article 6 of the Convention and the corresponding question in the report form. It notes the statistical information on the classification of accidents collected by the National Social Security Fund for the years 1988 to 1994. The Committee also notes from this information that the fatal accidents reported occurred in the building and public works sector where the majority of workers work with hauling appliances and hoisting machinery.

The Committee would be grateful if the Government would indicate the measures taken or envisaged to reduce such fatal accidents at work in the public works and building industry.

The Committee recalls that the required statistical information needs to be regularly updated so as to serve their purpose of enhancing safety at work. Please also supply as detailed information as possible on the number of persons occupied in the building industry and covered by the statistics, as indicated in the report form for the Convention.
