Observation (CEACR) - adopted 2011, published 101st ILC session (2012)

White Lead (Painting) Convention, 1921 (No. 13) - Central African Republic (Ratification: 1960)

With reference to its previous comments, the Committee yet again regrets to note that the Government reiterates, as it has done since 1992, that no statistics are available on morbidity and mortality resulting from lead poisoning among working painters. With reference to its comments in relation to the application by the Government of the Occupational Safety and Health Convention, 1981 (No. 155), this year, the Committee urges the Government to make every effort to take the necessary action in the near future and to provide information in this respect.
