Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 1995, published 82nd ILC session (1995)

Article 14 of the Convention. Further to its previous comments, the Committee notes the information supplied by the Government in its report. It requests the Government to communicate to the Office the published statistics of occupational injuries and diseases compiled by the National Occupational Health and Safety Commission, as well as methodological information concerning these statistics (in accordance with Articles 5 and 6). The Committee would be grateful if the Government would continue to supply information on the measures taken or envisaged to extend the scope of these statistics (Article 17(2)).

Article 15. From a publication of the Australian Bureau of Statistics available at the Office, the Committee notes with interest that the method of calculating the number of industrial disputes had been changed as from September 1991 in order to align the method with the guidelines established under the auspices of the ILO.
