Legislation. The Committee notes the Government’s indication in its report to the effect that Decree No. 2.08.528 (of 21 May 2009), concerning the protection of workers against risks from benzene or products in which the benzene content is greater than 1 per cent by volume, was amended and supplemented by Decree No. 2.12.386 (of 14 September 2012). It also notes the adoption of Orders Nos 2626-12 and 2627-12 (of 16 July 2012), relating to the application of Decree No. 2.08.528.
Application of the Convention in practice. In several of its reports the Government has sent information on the forthcoming development of an information system capable of providing reliable statistics, which the Committee welcomed in its comments on the application of the White Lead (Painting) Convention, 1921 (No. 13). The Committee requests the Government to give a general appraisal of the manner in which the Convention is applied in the country. It also requests the Government to provide statistical information, once the information system has been set up, on the number of workers covered by the legislation, the number and nature of infringements reported, the number, nature and cause of accidents reported, etc.
