The Committee notes the brief first report provided by the Government indicating that there are no specific regulations enforcing the provisions of the Convention, but that Annex No. 2 of the Rulebook on the Minimum Health and Safety Requirements Regarding the Exposure of Workers to Chemical Substances – List of binding occupational exposure limit values – refers to lead and its ionic mixtures. Recalling that, under article 22 of the ILO Constitution, the Government is required to submit regular reports on the measures which it has taken to give effect to the provisions of the Conventions to which it is a party, and referring the Government to its comments under the Occupational Safety and Health Convention, 1981 (No. 155), on the availability of the Office to assist governments, the Committee asks the Government to provide information in its next report on measures taken or envisaged to give full effect to the provisions of the Convention and to submit a copy of the abovementioned Rulebook and its annexes.
