Technical assistance. The Committee notes the Government’s indications that it considers it appropriate to receive technical assistance for the preparation of reports, legislation and issues relating to the application of the Convention. The Committee invites the Government to formally request ILO technical assistance and to provide information on any developments in this respect.
Article 17(1) and (2) of the Convention. Demolition of plants containing friable asbestos insulation materials. The Committee notes that, according to the Government’s report, there is no relevant legislation that gives effect to this Article of the Convention and that the Government therefore considers it appropriate to receive technical assistance to adapt the legislation to the provisions of the Convention. In this regard, the Committee draws the Government’s attention to the guidance contained in Paragraph 14 of the Asbestos Recommendation, 1986 (No. 172). The Committee requests the Government to adopt the necessary measures to give effect to this Article of the Convention in light of this guidance.
Article 21(4). Alternative employment and maintenance of workers’ income when continued assignment to work involving exposure to asbestos is found to be medically inadvisable. Recalling its previous comments, the Committee once again requests the Government to provide information on the manner in which it ensures alternative employment and other measures, such as social benefits, so as to secure maintenance of the worker’s income where the worker’s assignment to or maintenance in a job involving exposure to asbestos, is medically inadvisable. Please provide, in particular, practical information on the manner in which the maintenance of income is guaranteed, including through social benefits.
Application of the Convention in practice. Article 5. Labour inspection services. With reference to its previous direct request, the Committee observes that the information provided by the Government on the activities of the labour inspectorate is not related to the application of the present Convention. The Committee once again requests the Government to provide information on the application of the Convention in practice, including reports provided by the labour inspectorate and other bodies responsible for the application of the Convention, including in so far as possible in the construction sector.
