Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 1990, published 77th ILC session (1990)

Working Environment (Air Pollution, Noise and Vibration) Convention, 1977 (No. 148) - Cuba (Ratification: 1980)

Further to its previous comments, the Committee notes the information provided in the Government's report to the effect that a National System for Statistical Information concerning Occupational Medicine has recently begun its work but that it will be necessary to wait until its complete introduction into the national system in order to obtain its results. The Committee would recall that point IV of the report form requests member States which have ratified the Convention to provide extracts from inspection service reports which would indicate the manner in which the Convention is applied. Point IV also calls for information to be provided, where such statistics exist, on the number of workers covered by the legislation and other measures, as well as on the number and nature of the contraventions reported. The Committee hopes that the National System for Statistical Information concerning Occupational Medicine will be in a position to compile the relevant statistics in the near future and requests the Government to indicate in its next report the progress made in this regard.
