Articles 2(3) and (4) and 4 of the Convention. Dangerous parts of machinery requiring guards and the persons responsible. The Committee notes the information provided by the Government in its report on the safety of machinery, particularly the provisions of the Regulations on occupational safety and health and the improvement of the work environment, adopted by Executive Decree No. 2393 of 19 November 1986. The Committee recalls that it has already examined these Regulations and indicated that they provide for liability and some penalties for non-observance, but do not establish the obligations of the persons covered by Article 4 of the Convention (the vendor, the person letting out on hire or transferring the machinery in any other manner, the exhibitor, the respective agents and the manufacturer). The Committee reminds the Government that these persons are responsible for the application of the provisions of Article 2 of the Convention and that the Government is required to ensure its application. The Committee once again requests the Government to indicate the manner in which the vendor or the person letting out on hire or transferring the machinery in any other manner is required to apply the provisions of Article 2 of the Convention.

Technical assistance. The Committee notes the Government’s repeated indication in its report that it will request technical assistance from the Office to give full effect to the Convention. The Committee once again invites the Government to formally request ILO technical assistance and to provide information on any progress in this regard.
