With reference to its observation, the Committee wishes to raise the following additional points.

Article 3(1) and (2) of the Convention. Progressive establishment of occupational health services for all workers. With regard to its previous comments, the Committee notes the Government’s indication that paragraph 2 of the Mexican Official Standard NOM-030-STPS-2009, preventive occupational safety and health services (SPSSTs), provides for the application of the standard throughout the national territory and in all workplaces. Moreover, the Government adds that section 527 of the Federal Labour Act provides that the federal authorities shall be competent to apply the labour standards with regard to the 22 sectors listed in the Act, that the federal authorities may be assisted by the local authorities in certain cases, and that the public sector and decentralized entities are also covered. The Committee notes that the Government does not provide the requested information on the application in practice of this section of the Act. The Committee once again requests the Government to provide information on the establishment of SPSSTs in practice, with an indication in particular of the sectors in which SPSSTs already exist and operate, and those in which they still need to be created. In the latter case (sectors and enterprises in which SPSSTs still need to be created), please indicate the plans developed for the establishment of such services in consultation with the most representative employers’ and workers’ organizations, in accordance with paragraph 2 of this Article of the Convention.
