Observation (CEACR) - adoptée 1995, publiée 82ème session CIT (1995)

Convention (n° 155) sur la sécurité et la santé des travailleurs, 1981 - Suède (Ratification: 1982)

The Committee has noted with interest the detailed information supplied by the Government in its report on the application of the Convention. It also notes from the Government's report that the following comment was submitted by the Swedish Trade Union Confederation:

The central work environment agreement between the Swedish Employers' Confederation (SAF) and LO/PTK (the Swedish Trade Union Confederation and the Federation of Salaried Employees in Industry and Services) was revoked by SAF during the period to which this report refers. Furthermore, since the autumn of 1992, as a result of a government resolution, the central parties on both sides have not been represented on the Directorate of the National Board of Occupational Safety and Health or the regional supervisory bodies (SAF nominees having left the boards of all decision-making government authorities). Partite representation within the Work Environment Fund and on the governing bodies of testing and inspection organizations such as SWEDAC and the National Testing and Research Institute has ceased for the same reason. Accommodation of Articles 4 and 5 has become correspondingly more difficult.

The Committee would appreciate it if the Government would provide information on relevant developments with regard to the application of Articles 4 and 5 of the Convention.
