Article 21(g) of the Convention. Statistics on cases of occupational disease. Also referring to its observation, the Committee notes with interest the efforts made with regard to the evaluation of risks and the prevention of occupational diseases, especially further to the recruitment of a specialist medical practitioner in this field and the completion of studies on working conditions and the working environment. Noting the lack of statistics on occupational diseases in the annual inspection report, the Committee trusts that it will be possible, through the recently installed computerized data collection system (FIS), to collect data on cases of occupational disease and that relevant statistics will be published in subsequent annual reports of the Department of Labour Inspection.
