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

The Committee refers to its comments on the application of the Occupational Cancer Convention, 1974 (No. 139), with regard to the General Occupational Safety and Health Act of 2007. As already indicated in comments under other occupational safety and health Conventions, this Act establishes a favourable framework for facilitating the application of the Conventions in this area. However, each of these Conventions have their own specific features. The Committee notes that the Government has not replied to the Committee’s last comments formulated in 2006. The Committee therefore requests the Government to provide a detailed report on the provisions of the national legislation which give legislative expression to the Convention and on its application in practice, and requests the Government to include in the detailed report a reply to the questions asked by the Committee in 2006.

[The Government is asked to report in detail in 2011.]
