The International Labour Office presents its compliments to the Governments of Member States of the International Labour Organization (ILO) and has the honour to refer them to Report IV(1): Chemicals and the World of Work prepared for the 115th Session (2027) of the International Labour Conference. This report is available on the Conference website in Arabic, Chinese, English, French, German, Russian and Spanish.

The attention of Governments is drawn to the questionnaire included in the report which, in accordance with article 46 of the Standing Orders of the International Labour Conference, requires a reply from Governments, after consultation with the most representative organizations of employers and workers. The replies to this questionnaire are important as they will form the basis for the preparation of the report that the Office will submit to the Conference at its 115th Session (2027) for the first discussion of the standard-setting item on chemical hazards.

Governments of Member States are invited to provide their replies to the questionnaire no later than 30 June 2026. Governments are encouraged, where possible, to download the questionnaire in electronic format and to submit their replies by e-mail to the ILO’s Occupational Safety and Health and Working Environment Branch, Governance and Tripartism Department, at the following address: [email protected].

The International Labour Office avails itself of this opportunity to renew to the Governments of Member States of the ILO the assurances of its highest consideration.
