Observation (CEACR) - adoptée 1992, publiée 79ème session CIT (1992)

Convention (n° 139) sur le cancer professionnel, 1974 - Venezuela (République bolivarienne du) (Ratification: 1983)

The Committee notes with regret that it has not received a report from the Government concerning the application of this Convention since the Government's first report for 1986 and, therefore, the Committee has not received a reply from the Government to any of its previous comments either. The Committee takes note, however, of the observation made by the Central Union of Workers concerning the non-application of this Convention, to which the Government has also not responded. In this regard, the Committee refers the Government to its observation under the Occupational Safety and Health Convention, 1981 (No. 155).

In addition, a request is being addressed directly to the Government on a number of points concerning the application of Articles 1, 2, 3 and 5 of the Convention.
