1. The Committee notes the information contained in the Government’s last report, to which are annexed Orders No. 8822 of 14 November 1955, establishing the precautions to be taken for the protection of workers performing painting operations and applying varnish using sprays, and No. 8827 of 14 November 1955, establishing the specific health measures applicable in French West Africa in establishments in which the personnel is exposed to lead poisoning.

2. Article 7 of the Convention. Statistical information. With reference to its previous comments, the Committee notes the indication contained in the Government’s report that statistics are not available on cases of morbidity and mortality due to lead poisoning among working painters. The Government indicates that such statistics will be supplied to the Committee once they have been collected and compiled. The Committee wishes to remind the Government that it has been requesting it to provide these statistics since 1988. The Committee is bound once again to express the firm hope that the Government will provide statistical data in the very near future, in accordance with Article 7 of the Convention.

[The Government is asked to report in detail in 2007.]
