Observación (CEACR) - Adopción: 1993, Publicación: 80ª reunión CIT (1993)

In reply to the Committee's previous comments, the Government states that it has taken note of the lack of machinery for prevention, supervision and follow-up and collection of statistical data on occupational diseases and the number of workers in high-risk occupations and industries. The Government states that there are no technical staff specializing in occupational diseases to set up such machinery and refers to the need for ILO technical assistance in this area.

The Committee takes note of this information. It hopes that, in due course, appropriate measures will be taken, with technical assistance from the ILO if necessary, to establish an infrastructure which, inter alia, will gather information, including statistics, on the practical application of the Convention, in accordance with point V of the report form adopted by the Governing Body.
