Observation (CEACR) - adopted 1990, published 77th ILC session (1990)

Workmen's Compensation (Occupational Diseases) Convention, 1925 (No. 18) - Guinea-Bissau (Ratification: 1977)

The Committee notes with regret that no progress has yet been made to complete the legislation that is in force by including a list of occupational diseases in the terms of Article 2 of the Convention. In view of the importance of this question, the Committee is bound once again to hope that the void that it notes in the legislation will be filled by the adoption, in the near future, of a list of occupational diseases including, at least, those enumerated in the Schedule appended to Article 2 of the Convention, which shall be recognised as occupational diseases when they are contracted in the circumstances specified in the above Schedule. [The Government is asked to report in detail for the period ending 30 June 1990.]
