Demande directe (CEACR) - adoptée 1994, publiée 81ème session CIT (1994)

The Committee notes with interest the information provided by the Government in its first and second reports. It takes note of the Government's indication that provisions for the application of the Convention were included in the Draft Occupational Health and Hygiene Bill and the Factories Bill which had been sent to the Office for comment. The Committee would point out, however, that Article 3, paragraph 1 of the Convention calls for specific measures to be prescribed for the prevention and control of, and protection against, health hazards due to occupational exposure to asbestos, whereas there are no specific provisions concerning asbestos in the above-mentioned bills.

The Committee hopes that the necessary measures will be taken by the Government, in consultation with the most representative organizations of employers and workers concerned, in accordance with Article 4, to ensure the application of the Convention and requests the Government to indicate, in its next report, the progress made in this regard.
