Article 6 of the Convention. Statistical information. The Committee notes the observations of the Free Confederation of Mauritanian Workers (CLTM), received on 31 August 2014, and the Government’s reply, received on 13 October 2014. The CLTM states that the statistical information on the number of occupational accidents provided by the Government is inaccurate and that the actual number of accidents, which according to the CLTM are mainly caused by the lack of supervision in workplaces and the lack of use of protective tools and equipment, is much higher. In response to the observations of the CLTM, the Government indicates that the labour inspectors and controllers perform their duties daily in order to ensure that labour legislation and regulations are applied, namely with regard to the use of personal and collective protective equipment by workers, and that infringements are subject to penalties. It also specifies that, while the CLTM has recorded 60 occupational accidents (one of which was fatal) in 2014, the competent services of the National Social Security Fund (CNSS), whose sources it considers more reliable, recorded 263 occupational accidents, two of which were fatal.

Furthermore, the Committee notes that the Government’s report has not been received. It hopes that a report will be supplied for examination by the Committee at its next session in 2015. Consequently, the Committee refers to its previous direct request and once again requests the Government to provide information on measures undertaken or envisaged to address the principal causes of workplace accidents, and to provide further statistical information on the number and nature of accidents reported.
