Purpose and legislative effect
“This provision says an international convention on minimum age for underground work in mines is being adopted, with the aim of setting a higher age than 15 for such work.”
This provision says an international convention on minimum age for underground work in mines is being adopted, with the aim of setting a higher age than 15 for such work. This article defines “mine” and says underground mining rules also cover underground work in quarries. Persons below the minimum age may not be employed or work underground in mines, and ratifying members must state the minimum age in a declaration. Ratifying Members may later notify the International Labour Office that they are setting a higher minimum age than the one they declared when ratifying. The competent authority must take necessary measures, including appropriate penalties, to enforce the Convention; ratifying Members must maintain or ensure inspection services; and employers must keep and disclose certain underground-work records.
