Article 7 of the Convention. Statistics with regard to lead poisoning among working painters. Referring to its previous comments, the Committee notes the Government’s indication in its report that since the end of the 1980s no cases of lead poisoning have been recorded in Nicaragua and so it is impossible to compile statistics on morbidity and mortality in the painting sector, and there are no indicators in this area. The Committee considers that the absence of indicators does not necessarily mean that there are no cases of lead poisoning. The Committee again requests the Government to give effect to the obligation laid down in this Article of the Convention to collect statistics on lead poisoning among working painters with regard to: (a) morbidity, by notification and certification of all cases of lead poisoning; and (b) mortality, by a method approved by the official statistical authority in each country, and to supply information on the measures taken in this regard.
Application of the Convention in practice. The Committee notes that the statistical table provided by the Government states the number of inspections carried out by region but does not indicate the content of the inspection. The Committee points out that the previously requested information refers specifically to matters covered by the present Convention. The Committee again requests the Government to provide summaries of inspection reports relating to the Convention as well as any documentation relating to the application of the Convention in practice.
