Observation (CEACR) - adopted 2010, published 100th ILC session (2011)

Occupational Cancer Convention, 1974 (No. 139) - Ecuador (Ratification: 1975)

The Committee notes that in its report the Government does not supply the information requested in the Committee’s previous comments and states that the Committee’s comments have been referred to the new authorities of the Directorate of Occupational Safety and Health so that they may provide the relevant responses. The Committee refers to the comments it has made this year on the application of the Working Environment (Air Pollution, Noise and Vibration) Convention, 1977 (No. 148), in which it invites the Government to seek technical assistance from the Office for the preparation of reports and in relation to a number of issues pertaining to the occupational safety and health Conventions. The Committee again asks the Government to supply detailed information on the matters raised in the last observation (2006) on the application of this Convention.

[The Government is asked to reply in detail to the present comments in 2011.]
