Solicitud directa (CEACR) - Adopción: 1993, Publicación: 80ª reunión CIT (1993)

Articles 10, 11, 16, 20 and 21 of the Convention. Further to its previous comments, the Committee notes that the Labour Market Information Newsletter for 1991 and the Labour Market Information Report for 1989 contain very partial information relating to occupational accidents and numbers of workers. They show that there was in 1989 a 50 per cent increase in reported accidents at work over the 1988 figures, and that a total of 4,360 claims were made to the National Insurance Scheme, relating to occupational injuries, representing almost a 100 per cent increase on the 1988 figures. The Committee hopes the Government will supply a full report on the Convention, indicating how effect is given to the Convention's main requirement that workplaces should be inspected as often and thoroughly as necessary to ensure the effective application of legal provisions. Inspection services should be adequately staffed and resourced; an annual inspection report containing all the information referred to in Article 21 should be published.
