ILO APPROVES BIOMETRIC IDS AND SCRAPPING CODE Tuesday, 30 March 2004 LAST week the ILO's Governing Body meeting in Geneva adopted a new biometric identity verification system for some 1.2 million maritime workers who handle 90 per cent of the world's trade. The new measure is essential for the implementation of the revised Seafarers' Identity Documents Convention, 2003 (No. 185) adopted by the International Labour Conference last June and aimed at providing a more rigorous response to the need for increased security among seafarers and strongly advocated by the US. A controversial move by the UK to put off a decision to allow further consideration of technical matters was not accepted. ILO also gave final approval to guidelines on occupational safety and health in ship breaking, affecting mainly work done in Bangladesh, China, India, Pakistan and Turkey. AN ILO statement says: “The terms of the guidelines - adopted at a meeting of experts in Bangkok last year - are not legally binding and are not intended to replace national laws, regulations or accepted standards but can be implemented immediately to provide assistance to ensure safe working conditions in ship breaking within the framework of the ILO's decent work agenda.” mgn.com A reminder... mgn.com A rerinder to the reminder... datastrip.com steve
