Observation (CEACR) - adopted 1994, published 81st ILC session (1994)

Workmen's Compensation (Occupational Diseases) Convention (Revised), 1934 (No. 42) - Suriname (Ratification: 1976)

In reply to the Committee's previous observation, the Government states that it has under study a project to revise the labour legislation with the technical assistance of the ILO. The Committee therefore once again expresses the hope that in revising this legislation the Government will not fail to complete the list of occupational diseases established by section 25 of Decree No. 145 of 1947, as amended, so as to include among the activities likely to cause anthrax infection (section 25(c)) the "loading and unloading or transport of merchandise" in general, as provided by the Convention.
