Convenio sobre la cerusa (pintura), 1921 (núm. 13) - República Centroafricana (Ratificación : 1960)

The Committee notes the information contained in the Government’s report.

It recalls that, since the Government had sent no statistics for several years on lead poisoning among working painters, as required by the report form under Article 7 of the Convention, it asked the Government to send such information.

The Committee notes the information sent by the Government to the effect that the Central African Social Security Office (OCSS) is responsible for compiling statistics on morbidity and mortality arising from lead poisoning, but that no statistics are available. The Committee hopes that the Government will take the necessary steps to ensure that, in the near future, the OCSS is in a position to compile and supply these statistics, and that the Government will send them to the Office so that the Committee may consider them.
