Statute overview

About this statute

This article defines what counts as industrial undertakings and gives the competent authority power to set the line dividing industry from agriculture, commerce, and other non-industrial work. “Night” means at least 11 consecutive hours, and the competent authority may set different night intervals for different areas or industries. Women may not be employed at night in public or private industrial undertakings, except for family-only undertakings and two stated emergency cases. Article 4 is identified, but no substantive rule is provided in the source text. The government may suspend the ban on night work for women in serious emergency situations, after consulting the relevant employers’ and workers’ organisations, and must report the suspension to the ILO Director-General in its annual report.
