Demande directe (CEACR) - adoptée 1990, publiée 77ème session CIT (1990)

Convention (n° 18) sur les maladies professionnelles, 1925 - Mozambique (Ratification: 1977)

With reference to its previous comments, the Committee notes the Government's statement that the regulations provided for in section 143, subsection 3, of Labour Act No. 8 of 12 December 1985 have not yet been adopted. It hopes that these regulations, which are to determine the trades and processes liable to cause the diseases listed in subsection 2 of above-mentioned section 143, will shortly be adopted. It asks the Government to indicate any progress achieved in this connection.

Furthermore, the Committee takes note of the statistical information provided. It notes, however, that these data appear to concern only industrial accidents. Consequently, it again requests the Government to provide appropriate information on the application, in practice, of the Convention, with regard to occupational diseases, in accordance with point V of the report form approved by the Governing Body.
