Application of the Convention in law and in practice. Following its previous comment, the Committee notes the Government’s reference to the development of the Guideline on Chemical Safety in Workplaces, the draft Law on Occupational Safety and Health (OSH) and the third OSH master plan 2023-2027, developed with the technical assistance of the ILO. However, the Committee notes with regret that the Government does not provide any information on provisions prohibiting the use of white lead, in accordance with the Convention. The Committee once again requests the Government to take the necessary measures to give full effect to the Convention in law by prohibiting the use of white lead and sulphate of lead and of all products containing these pigments in the internal painting of buildings, and to provide information on any progress made in this regard. It also requests the Government to provide information on the use of white lead in the country in practice, including any preventive and protective measures undertaken.
