With reference to Article 6(b) and (c) of the Convention, the Committee requests the Government to provide information as to whether the Government has fulfilled its obligations under this Convention by establishing occupational health services by collective agreements or as otherwise agreed upon by the employers and workers concerned or in any other manner approved by the competent authority after consultation with the representative organizations of employers and workers concerned.

Part VI of the report form. Application in practice. The Committee requests the Government to provide a general appreciation of the manner in which the Convention is applied in the country and to attach any available and relevant extracts from labour inspection reports.
