Abstract This booklet summarises the report of the Committee which, at the 61st Session of the International Labour Conference (Geneva, June 1976) examined this question with a view to the adoption of an international instrument. The conclusions of the Conference for the second discussion of this question at its 63rd Session (Geneva, June 1977), the record of the discussion, at the 61st Session of the conference, on the committee's report and proposed conclusions are reproduced. Proposed texts of an international Convention (definitions; national laws and regulations to combat workplace pollution; technical prevention, personal protective equipment, worker training and information, etc.; application) and of a Recommendation. A Resolution adopted by the Conference is appended, calling for appropriate studies by the ILO, within the International Programme for the Improvement of Working Conditions (PIACT), for elaborating international labour standards concerning occupational hazards of micro-climatic conditions, non-ionising radiation, transportation, handling and use of potentially harmful substances, work causing stress and dehumanising work.
