Observation (CEACR) - adoptée 2013, publiée 103ème session CIT (2014)

Convention (n° 62) concernant les prescriptions de sécurité (bâtiment), 1937 - Guinée (Ratification: 1966)

The Committee notes with regret that the Government’s report has not been received. It therefore feels bound to repeat its previous comment, which read as follows:

Repetition

Article 6 of the Convention. Statistics. The Committee notes with interest that, according to the statistics provided by the Government, the number of accidents in the building and public work sector appears to have decreased in 2004 and 2005, although the number on the whole appears to have increased when considering all occupational categories together. The Committee asks the Government to continue to provide statistical data on the application of the Convention in practice.

Revision of the Convention. The Committee draws the Government’s attention to the Safety and Health in Construction Convention, 1988 (No. 167), which revises the Convention, and which might be more adapted to the current situation of the building industry. The Committee recalls that the Governing Body of the International Labour Office invited the States’ parties to the Convention to contemplate ratifying Convention No. 167, the ratification of which will, ipso jure, imply the immediate denunciation of Convention No. 62 (document GB.268/8/2). The Committee requests the Government to keep it informed on any developments in this regard.

The Committee hopes that the Government will make every effort to take the necessary action in the near future.
