Articles 6 and 7 of the ConventionStatistics of cases of morbidity and mortality resulting from lead poisoning. With reference to its previous comments, the Committee notes with interest the formulation and adoption, under section 113 of the Labour Code, of an occupational disease declaration form through which enterprises notify the competent authority of cases of occupational diseases. It notes the information on morbidity in cases of lead poisoning reported in the context of occupational risk insurance to the Social Security Institute and that there are no statistics relating to the mortality of working painters as a result of lead poisoning. The Committee therefore hopes that the Government will also take measures to obtain and supply statistics on cases of the deaths of working painters from lead poisoning, in accordance with Article 7(b) of the Convention.
