Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 1998, published 87th ILC session (1999)

White Lead (Painting) Convention, 1921 (No. 13) - Suriname (Ratification: 1976)

The Committee notes that the Government's report does not contain any information in answer to the question raised. The Committee must therefore repeat its previous direct request, which read as follows:

The Committee notes from the Government's report that there has been no change in the legislation giving effect to the Convention. It notes, however, that the Government has not supplied any statistics concerning lead poisoning among working painters for a number of years, as requested in the report form under Article 7 of the Convention. The Government is, therefore, requested to provide statistics on mobility and mortality due to lead poisoning in its next report.
