Convention (n° 42) (révisée) des maladies professionnelles, 1934 - Suriname (Ratification: 1976)

With reference to its previous comments, the Committee notes with regret, from the information provided by the Government in its report, that the list of occupational diseases established under section 25 of Workmen’s Injuries Decree No. 145 of 1947, as amended, has not been revised. It also notes that the Government no longer refers to the general revision of the labour legislation. In these conditions, the Committee is bound to draw the Government’s attention once again to the need to take all the necessary measures to complete the list of occupational diseases envisaged under section 25 of the above Decree so as to include among the activities which may cause anthrax infection the loading and unloading or transport of merchandise in general, as provided by the Convention.
