The Committee notes the Government’s latest detailed report indicating recent legislative changes giving further effect to the Convention, including Health and Safety at Work Regulations for Manual Handling of Loads (Official Gazette, 2006, No. 116-4417) and Methodological Guidance on the Investigation of Ergonomic Risks (Official Gazette, 2005, No. 95-3536).

Part V of the report form. Application in practice. The Committee notes the Government’s response to its previous comment concerning observations of the Federation of Workers of Lithuania (LDF) received in September 2004, regarding the application of the Convention in practice. The Committee notes that, according to information available to the State Labour Inspectorate, there were five accidents related to the manual lifting of loads in 2005, increasing to 26 accidents in 2008, and that, according to the information collected in the Public Register of Occupational Diseases, there were 103 cases of occupational diseases caused by load lifting and carrying in 2005 again, increasing to 164 cases in 2008. The Committee asks the Government to provide further information on the causes for this increase and, as appropriate, on measures undertaken or envisaged to reduce the number of cases of workplace accidents related to manual lifting of loads and the number of cases of occupational diseases caused by load lifting and to continue to provide information on the application of the Convention in practice.
