The Committee requests the Government to continue to provide such statistical information, including information on the outcome of the abovementioned cases and any further information on measures taken to ensure a full application of the Convention.

Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 2004, published 93rd ILC session (2005)

The Committee notes that the labour protection legislation adopted recently continues to give effect to the provisions of the Convention. It draws the Government’s attention to the following point.

Article 7 of the Convention. Statistics on lead poisoning among working painters. The Committee notes the adoption of Order No. 188 of the Minister of Health (OMS), of 23 February 2004, establishing the National Operational Scheme for Occupational Diseases and the National Centre for Methodological Coordination and Information on Occupational Diseases. It notes that under section 4(1) of the Order, the responsibility for compiling statistical information on occupational diseases is vested with the National Centre for Methodological Coordination and Information. The Committee requests the Government to indicate whether, in accordance with Article 7 of the Convention, the Centre has already established statistics on cases of morbidity and mortality resulting from lead poisoning among working painters and, if so, it requests to provide them. It hopes that the next report will contain the statistics required under Article 7 of the Convention.

Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 1997, published 86th ILC session (1998)

The Committee notes the statistical data supplied by the Government regarding morbidity due to lead and its components and that a large number of workers have been poisoned by these substances. It requests the Government to specify whether the cases included in the statistics were caused solely by lead components, and especially white lead in paint, and, if so, it requests the Government to provide information on the measures taken or envisaged to avoid the danger arising from the handling and application of paint containing lead pigment or components.

Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 1992, published 79th ILC session (1992)

The Committee notes from the Government's report that there has been no change in the legislation giving full effect to the Convention. It notes, however, that the Government has not supplied any statistics concerning lead poisoning among working painters, as requested in the report form under Article 7 of the Convention. The Government is, therefore, requested to provide statistics on morbidity and mortality due to lead poisoning in its next report.
