Employment Injury Benefits Convention, 1964 [Schedule I amended in 1980] (No. 121) - Ecuador (Ratification: 1978)

The Committee notes with satisfaction that on 10 December 1990 the new General Regulations on Employment Injury Insurance were adopted which, among other reforms, include an updated list of occupational diseases. The Committee notes that the new list of occupational diseases contained in sections 4-6 of the General Regulations on Employment Injury Insurance introduces, in accordance with Article 8 of the Convention, a series of pathologies and the substances and work involving exposure to the risk, in line with its previous comments. The Committee nevertheless draws the Government's attention to the fact that a direct request concerns a number of points which were not taken into account in the new list of occupational diseases.
