Solicitud directa (CEACR) - Adopción: 2014, Publicación: 104ª reunión CIT (2015)

Convenio sobre seguridad y salud en la construcción, 1988 (núm. 167) - Eslovaquia (Ratificación : 1993)

Legislation. The Committee notes the Government’s indication that Decree No. 374/1990 Coll. on the safety of work and technological equipment at construction sites has been replaced by Decree No. 147/2013 of the Ministry of Labour, Social Affairs and Family, laying down the details to ensure the safety and health at construction works and related works and details of professional competence for the performance of certain work activities. However, Decree No. 147/2013 was not communicated with the report and the Committee is therefore unable to assess its impact on the application of the Convention. The Committee requests the Government to provide a copy of Decree No. 147/2013, if possible in one of the working languages of the ILO, and to continue to communicate information on legislative developments in relation to the application of the Convention.

Application of the Convention in practice. The Committee notes the statistical information provided by the Government showing the number of occupational accidents and diseases, but notes that specific information on the construction industry, including the number of workers, is not provided. The Committee requests the Government to provide information on the practical application of the Convention, including excerpts of reports of the labour inspection service, information on the number of workers covered by the legislation, the number and nature of the contraventions reported and the resulting action taken, and the number of occupational accidents and diseases reported including the main causes of accidents in the construction sector.
