Observation (CEACR) - adopted 2005, published 95th ILC session (2006)

White Lead (Painting) Convention, 1921 (No. 13) - Central African Republic (Ratification: 1960)

1. With reference to its previous comments, the Committee regrets to note that the Government confines itself to reiterating, as it has done since 1992, that no statistics are available on morbidity and mortality resulting from lead poisoning among working painters.

2. It is therefore bound once again to express its hope that the Government will take the necessary measures so that the Central African Social Security Office (OCSS), which is responsible for compiling the necessary statistics, takes the necessary action to compile and provide the statistics in question, in accordance with Article 7 of the Convention.
