The Committee refers the Government to its observation and asks it to provide information on the following points.

The Committee notes the attachments sent including the Occupational Health Handbook, published in 2005 by the Directorate General of Environmental Health, the Module on Safety and Health at Work and the Health at Work Strategy, published by the Institute of Trade Union Studies. Furthermore, it notes with interest the Occupational Safety and Health Regulation, approved by Supreme Decree No. 009-2005-TR and amended by Supreme Decree
No. 007-2007-TR, which establish the foundations for the national occupational safety and health policy. Pointing out that the key occupational safety and health Conventions are the Occupational Safety and Health Convention, 1981 (No. 155) and its Protocol of 2002, and the Promotional Framework for Occupational Safety and Health Convention, 2006 (No. 187), and noting that Supreme Decree No. 007-2007-TR appears to facilitate application of these Conventions, the Committee draws the Government’s attention to the fact that under the Plan of Action (2010–16) to achieve widespread ratification and effective implementation of these three instruments, it may seek technical assistance from the Office should it see fit, and asks the Government to provide information on all developments in this regard.

Article 2 of the Convention. Replacement of carcinogenic substances and agents by non-carcinogenic substances or agents or by less harmful substances or agents. With reference to its previous comments, the Committee notes that, according to the Government, in 2005 the Occupational Health Directorate prepared a proposal for the prohibition of asbestos and a bill on the same subject was debated by Congress. Both instruments are being reviewed. The Committee requests the Government to provide information on all developments in this regard.

Article 6(c) and Part IV of the report form. Work by the inspection services to ensure application of the Convention in practice. The Committee notes the information sent by the Government on the conveyance of information to workers, consultations held with workers and related publications such as the outline of the project on the prevention and control of occupational cancer. Noting that the information supplied on inspection work does not refer specifically to the Convention. The Committee asks the Government to provide practical information, including extracts from inspection reports, that is related to the provisions of this Convention. It would also be grateful if the Government would provide further information on the outline of the project on the prevention and control of occupational cancer, referred to in its report.
