Convenio sobre el benceno, 1971 (núm. 136) - Kuwait (Ratificación : 1974)

Article 6(3) of the Convention. Measurement of the concentration of benzene. Part IV of the report form. Application in practice. The Committee notes the response provided by the Government concerning the periodical labour inspection visits carried out by the Industrial Environment Department at the Public Authority for the Environment, in workplaces at which workers are exposed to the risks of benzene vapours. The Committee notes, however, that the special memorandum on exposure to benzene and the results of field visits mentioned in the Government’s report have not been received. The Committee requests the Government to provide information on the manner in which the Convention is applied, including extracts of inspection reports and data on the number of workers covered by the Convention disaggregated by gender, if possible, and the number and nature of the infringements recorded.
