Convenio sobre la protección de los cargadores de muelle contra los accidentes (revisado), 1932 (núm. 32) - Eslovenia (Ratificación : 1992)

Legislation. The Committee takes note of the Government’s indication of the comprehensive list of provisions and regulations that give effect to the Convention in practice, including a general legislation which is applicable to all workers in the country and a specialized rule, covering the manual handling of loads, which came into effect in August 2024

Part V of the report form. Application in practice. The Committee notes the detailed statistics provided by the Government of injuries sustained in port and during the loading and unloading of ships. The Committee further notes that the Labour inspectorate is authorized to collect and process information on reported accidents to plan accident and disease prevention policies. Observing that there seems to be an upward trend in injuries in the Port of Koper (the only port that handles loading and unloading operations) in 2023, the Committee requests the Government to continue providing detailed statistics on injuries reported, along with information on the specific measures or accident prevention policies adopted or envisaged by the labour inspectorate to address the increase in injuries. The Committee further requests the Government to provide information on the number of workers covered by the Convention and the number and nature of the contraventions reported.

Prospects for the ratification of the most up-to-date Convention. The Committee takes this opportunity to encourage the Government to follow up on the decision adopted by the Governing Body at its 328th Session (October–November 2016) approving the recommendations of the Standards Review Mechanism Tripartite Working Group, and to consider ratifying the Occupational Safety and Health (Dock Work) Convention, 1979 (No. 152), which is the most up-to-date instrument in this subject area. The Committee requests the Government to provide information on any measures taken in this regard.
