Referring also to its observation, the Committee would be grateful if the Government would supply the information asked for in its previous direct request under Articles 14 and 15.

Article 14. The Committee notes that the coverage of statistics on occupational injuries is limited to insured employees, accounting for only about 38 per cent of all workers employed. It asks the Government to provide information on the measures that are planned, if any, to extend the coverage of the statistics on occupational injuries so that they are representative of the country as a whole, and on the steps it is planned to take, if any, to collect information on days lost due to occupational injuries.

The Committee further asks the Government to provide information on: (i) the standards and guidelines established under the auspices of the ILO that were followed when the concepts, definitions and methodology used for the statistics on occupational injuries were designed or revised (Article 2); (ii) the title and reference number of the principal publication containing the detailed description of the sources, concepts, definitions and methodology used in collecting and compiling the statistics on occupational injuries; this methodological description should also be communicated to the ILO (Article 6); and (iii) the methodology used to compile statistics on occupational diseases, if any.

Article 15. The Committee asks the Government to provide information on: (i) the standards and guidelines established under the auspices of the ILO that were followed when the concepts, definitions and methodology used for statistics on strikes and lockouts were designed or revised (Article 2); and (ii) the title and reference number of the principal publication containing the detailed description of the sources, concepts, definitions and methodology used in collecting and compiling the statistics (Article 6).
