The Committee notes the Government’s detailed report and the documents attached thereto. The Committee considers, however, that the information and legal texts provided do not allow an assessment of the extent to which the Convention is applied. It accordingly requests the Government once again to provide information on the measures taken to ensure, in accordance with Article 20 of the Convention, the publication and transmission to the ILO by the central inspection authority, as required by Article 4, of an annual inspection report containing information on each of the items set forth in Article 21. The Committee reminds the Government that ILO technical assistance may be requested to facilitate the implementation of these provisions.

The Committee once again requests the Government to provide a copy of Order No. 3 of 1995 establishing the post of general supervisor of inspection, and Order No. 174 of 1995 issuing provisions pertaining to labour inspection, both of which were mentioned in a previous report.

Recalling that, in accordance with Article 14 of the Convention, the labour inspectorate shall be notified of industrial accidents and cases of occupational disease, and noting that the Labour Directive No. 2 of 1425 (Hegira) prescribes that they must be notified to the sole social insurance scheme, the Committee requests the Government to take measures to ensure that effect is given to this provision of the Convention and to inform the ILO of any progress in this matter.
