Some ILO conventions put pressure on Employer to install technical devices to reduce hazards in workplace.
Specific legal arguments
Likewise: R156 – Working Environment (Air Pollution, Noise and Vibration) Recommendation, 1977 (No. 156) says
that;
“11. The employer should ensure the regular inspection and maintenance of machines and installations, with
respect to the emission of harmful substances, dust, noise and vibration.
▪ 12. The competent authority should, when necessary for the protection of the workers’ health, establish a
procedure for the approval of personal protective equipment”.

R164-Occupational Safety and Health Recommendation, (1984) says that;
“To provide and maintain workplaces, machinery and equipment, and use work methods, which are as safe and
without risk to health as is reasonably practicable”. https://www.ilo.org/dyn/normlex/en/f?

Organization Convention C167 says that installed machinery should be free of hazard and
maintained on time by competent person of facility.
It says further “Plant, machinery and equipment, including hand tools, both manual and power driven, shall
be of good design and construction, taking into account as far as possible ergonomic principles, be
maintained in good working order, be used only for work for which they have been designed unless a use

“Before construction is commenced and during the progress thereof adequate steps shall be taken to
ascertain the presence of and to guard against danger to workers from any live electrical cable or apparatus
