The Committee notes with regret that the Government’s report has not been received. It hopes that the next report will contain full information on the matters raised in its previous comments.
Repetition
Application of the Convention in practice. According to the information previously submitted by the Government, the reported cases of occupational diseases are extremely low because the workers, employers and even the doctors have very little knowledge about these issues. In its 2012 comments, the Trade Union Confederation of Burundi (COSYBU) recommends in this respect that the list of occupational diseases should be reviewed, a recommendation that seems to be shared by the employers’ movement. The Committee would be grateful if the Government would specify, without further delay, the measures it intends taking to improve the system for diagnosing and recognizing occupational diseases in the context of the national occupational safety and health policy, which could take the form of organizing training sessions for occupational physicians and/or adopting a proactive approach that would disseminate easily accessible information on procedures for recognizing occupational diseases among workers at risk.
