The Committee notes the observations of the Confederation of Workers of Mexico (CTM) and the Authentic Workers’ Confederation of the Republic of Mexico (CAT) concerning the application of the Convention in practice, which were received with the Government’s report.
The Committee notes that the Government reports the adoption of the Regulations respecting the Unified Centre for Maritime and Port Security (CUMAR), of 26 July 2022, setting out the organization and functioning of the CUMAR as an interinstitutional coordination unit between the Marine Secretariat and the Secretariat of Communications and Transport, responsible for guaranteeing an acceptable level of risk in ports, the administration, operation and port services and maritime activities, as well as dealing with maritime and port incidents. The Committee requests the Government to provide information on the activities of the CUMAR which give effect to the provisions of the Convention, including information on the maritime and port incidents that it has dealt with.
Application in practice. The Committee notes the CTM’s observations on the need for the Government to provide precise information on the application of the Convention in practice. The Committee notes with concern the statistical data provided by the Government, which shows that between July 2017 and April 2022 a total of 10,446 work-related accidents and 387 occupational diseases were reported in the port sector. However, the Committee notes that these statistics do not indicate the nature of the occupational accidents and diseases reported. The Committee also notes the Government’s indication that the Secretariat for Labour and Social Welfare (STPS) can carry out safety and health inspections in ports, but that there are currently no statistics on such inspections. While noting that the Government has not provided specific and precise statistics on the application of the Convention in practice, the Committee requests the Government to provide all available statistical data on: (i) the number and nature of the occupational accidents and diseases reported; and (ii) the inspections carried out by the STPS, with an indication of the number of workers covered by the legislation, and the number and nature of the contraventions reported and the measures adopted as a result.
The Committee also requests the Government to indicate the measures adopted or envisaged, in consultation with the social partners in the sector, with a view to achieving a significant reduction in the number of occupational accidents and diseases in dock work.
