White Lead (Painting) Convention, 1921 (No. 13) - Romania (RATIFICATION: 1925)

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.
