Demande directe (CEACR) - adoptée 1992, publiée 79ème session CIT (1992)

Convention (n° 13) sur la céruse (peinture), 1921 - Cameroun (Ratification: 1960)

Article 7 of the Convention. The Committee notes the Government's statement in its report that no new provisions have been introduced in the laws or regulations. In a request addressed to the Government in 1988, the Committee referred to Article 7 of the Convention under which statistics with regard to lead poisoning among working painters shall be obtained: (a) as to morbidity - by notification and certification of all cases of lead poisoning; and (b) as to mortality - by a method approved by the official statistical authority in each country.

The Committee asked the Government to supply with its report the statistics called for by Article 7 of the Convention on cases of morbidity and mortality caused by lead poisoning, as also required by the report form under Article 7. In the absence of a reply to this point, the Committee hopes that the information requested will be provided with the next report.
