Solicitud directa (CEACR) - Adopción: 2007, Publicación: 97ª reunión CIT (2008)

Also referring to its observation, the Committee would be grateful if the Government would supply information on the following points.

Article 5(b) of the Convention. Collaboration with employers’ and workers’ organizations. According to the Government, factory inspectors consult the trade union or the workers’ representative during inspections in most federated states. The Government also indicates that the chief inspector has undertaken to involve trade unions during inspection operations, wherever they are not yet involved. The Committee requests the Government to continue supplying detailed information on arrangements for effective collaboration between the inspection services and employers’ and workers’ organizations, not only during workplace inspections but also in the context of advisory and information activities on labour legislation undertaken by inspectors.

Articles 20 and 21. Annual report on the work of the inspection services. The Committee notes with interest that the information required by the above provisions of the Convention is contained in the annual “reference note” published by the Directorate General, Factory Advice Services and Labour Institutes (DGFASLI). Emphasizing the importance of the availability of the most reliable data possible covering the whole of the country in order to evaluate the functioning of the inspection system and thus be able to allocate human and material resources according to needs and with account being taken of available resources, the Committee hopes that the Government will continue to make the necessary efforts to collect recent data from the inspection services of the federal states and that this information will continue to be published regularly in the DGFASLI reference note. It also requests the Government to continue to send this document to the ILO, with its reports pursuant to article 22 of the ILO Constitution.
