Observation (CEACR) - adopted 2015, published 105th ILC session (2016)

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

The Committee notes that the Government’s report has not been received. It is therefore bound to repeat its previous comments.

Repetition

With reference to its previous comments, the Committee yet again regrets to note that the Government reiterates, as it has done since 1992, that no statistics are available on morbidity and mortality resulting from lead poisoning among working painters. With reference to its comments in relation to the application by the Government of the Occupational Safety and Health Convention, 1981 (No. 155), this year, the Committee urges the Government to make every effort to take the necessary action in the near future and to provide information in this respect.

The Committee hopes that the Government will make every effort to take the necessary action in the near future.
