Article 7 of the Convention. Statistics. Application of the Convention in practice. The Committee notes the Government’s indication that out of the ten cases of occupational diseases confirmed between 2009 and 2011, two cases of chronic poisoning were directly caused by lead and its compounds, while lead was one cause among others in the eight other cases. The Committee also notes that the occupations with regard to which diseases were confirmed include a medical nurse, a welder, printers, operators and a ceramic glazer. The Committee invites the Government to continue to supply information on the application of this Convention in practice, including statistics as to morbidity and mortality with regard to lead poisoning, disaggregated by occupation if possible, and on the measures taken to reduce the number of cases of occupational diseases concerned.
