Demande directe (CEACR) - adoptée 2009, publiée 99ème session CIT (2010)

The Committee notes from the information provided by the Government in its report that occupational diseases remain regulated by the Workers Social Security and Pensions Act No. 39 of 1971 and that a new bill for occupational safety and health is under preparation. The Committee would like the Government to continue to keep the Office informed of any developments with respect to the legal regime of occupational accidents. It would also appreciate receiving previously requested information on the manner in which the Convention is applied in practice. The Government is therefore requested to indicate in its next report: (i) the prescribed rates of compensation in cases of industrial accidents and occupational diseases; (ii) the manner in which the application of national legislation is supervised; (iii) the role of labour inspection, including relevant extracts from the annual reports of national inspection services; and (iv) the trades, industries and processes which give rise to the diseases or poisonings listed by the Convention, the number of workers employed therein and the type and number of cases of occupational diseases for the period under review.
