Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 1988, published 75th ILC session (1988)

Benzene Convention, 1971 (No. 136) - Nicaragua (Ratification: 1981)

1. The Committee takes note of the Government's reply to its previous comments, which indicates that special inquiries are being carried out with a view to adopting safety measures in the very near future for the prevention of risks of intoxication by benzene. Since no provisions yet exist in laws or regulations to give effect to the Convention, the Committee trusts that the necessary measures announced by the Government will be adopted shortly, in accordance with Article 14(a) of this Convention.

The Committee requests the Government to supply information on progress made in this connection in its next report.
