Articles 1, 2 and 3 of the Convention. Prohibition of the use of white lead and sulphate of lead in the internal painting of buildings. The Committee notes the information provided by the Government in its report that there are no specific provisions in national legislation applying the Convention, but that the Labour Code contains general indications in this respect. The Committee hopes that the Government, in its next report, will be able to provide detailed information on the measures taken in law and practice to regulate the use of white lead and sulphate of lead and of all products containing these pigments, in accordance with the provisions of the Convention.
Application in practice. The Committee notes the Government’s indication that there is no report of the inspection services which would provide information on the manner in which the Convention is applied in practice or which would provide statistical data relating to it. The Committee requests the Government to provide information when it is available on the application of the Convention in practice, including statistical information on cases of lead poisoning among working painters, indicating, in particular, morbidity and mortality due to lead poisoning.
