Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 1999, published 88th ILC session (2000)

The Committee notes the Government's report and the annual inspection report on safety and health at work. It draws the Government's attention to the following matters.

Articles 3, paragraph 1(a), and 20 of the Convention. The Committee notes that the annual reports submitted relate only to inspection activities with regard to safety and health at work. It would be grateful if the Government would supply information concerning labour inspection structures and activities in the fields mentioned in this provision, in addition to those of safety and health at work, such as duration of work, salaries and the employment of children and young persons.

Articles 10(a)(i) and (ii) and 21(c) and (d). The Committee notes that neither the Government's reports nor the annual report submitted supply statistics on the number of workplaces liable to inspection and the workers employed there. Stressing the essential nature of such information in order to appreciate the effectiveness of inspection activities, the Committee requests the Government to take the necessary steps to include it in the next annual reports.
