Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 2003, published 92nd ILC session (2004)

Occupational Cancer Convention, 1974 (No. 139) - Guinea (Ratification: 1976)

The Committee notes with regret that the Government’s report has not been received. It hopes that a report will be supplied for examination by the Committee at its next session and that it will contain full information on the matters raised in its previous direct request, which read as follows:

Article 2, paragraph 1, of the Convention. The Committee notes that under section 4 of Order No. 93/4794/MRAFDTP/DNTLS, the employer must replace a carcinogenic substance by another, non-carcinogenic or less carcinogenic substance, provided that such a substance exists, each time that such replacement can be envisaged in view of the actual circumstances. The Committee requests the Government to provide clarification on the concept of "actual circumstances" in which such replacement is envisaged.
