With reference to its previous observation the Committee notes from the Government's report that municipal labour protection inspection was placed under central Government and the labour protection administration was transferred from the Ministry of Social Affairs and Health to the Ministry of Labour. As a result the personnel of the labour protection districts increased which should intensify the supervision and increase the frequency of inspection visits in the sectors most susceptible to accidents.

The Committee also noted the comments of the Finnish Employers' Confederation (STK) and the Central Organisation of Finnish Trade Unions (SAK) concerning the labour protection supervision. It requests the Government to provide with its next reports detailed information in this respect.
