Observación (CEACR) - Adopción: 1994, Publicación: 81ª reunión CIT (1994)

Further to its previous comments, the Committee notes the information that the draft Labour Code would be submitted to the next session of the National Council, to be convened after the parliamentary elections in November 1993. It hopes the Government will provide full particulars on developments and that the Code, when adopted, will ensure amongst other things that:

(i) the power to make or have made orders with immediate executory force in the event of imminent danger is conferred directly on labour inspectors (Article 13 of the Convention); and

(ii) there is an obligation to notify the inspectorate of industrial accidents and occupational diseases (Article 14).

Articles 20 and 21. Further to its previous comments, the Committee notes that, while the annual inspection reports for the years 1988-91 have not been received, that for 1992 has reached the Office. It points out that the report for 1992 does not contain particulars of the staff of the labour inspection service including its geographic distribution within the country (Article 21(b)), and statistics of occupational diseases (Article 21(g)). The Committee wishes to underline the importance it attaches to the compilation, publication and transmission of such annual inspection reports in accordance with the requirements of Article 20, and containing all the information listed in Article 21.
