Article 6 of the Convention. Statistics on the number and classification of accidents in the building industry. Further to its previous comments, the Committee notes the statistical information communicated by the Government for 2001 relating to the number and classification of accidents occurring to persons occupied on work within the scope of the Convention. Noting the significant increase in the number of serious accidents in the last ten years, and taking account of the fact that the building industry is among those with the highest risks of accidents, the Committee requests the Government to provide information, with its next report, on the measures taken to reduce the risks of accidents in the industry.
