Demande directe (CEACR) - adoptée 1993, publiée 80ème session CIT (1993)

In its previous comments, the Committee noted that the Government had not, for a number of years, supplied any statistics concerning lead poisoning among working painters, as requested in the report form under Article 7 of the Convention. In its latest report, the Government indicated that the Department of Labour does not have statistics concerning lead poisoning among working painters. The Committee wishes to remind the Government that under this Article of the Convention statistics with regard to lead poisoning among working painters should be established as to morbidity and mortality. The Committee therefore hopes that the Government will be able to supply these statistics with its next report.
