Article 3 of the Convention. Functions entrusted to labour inspectors. The Committee previously noted the list of functions attributed to labour officers other than the primary functions provided for under Article 3(1) of the Convention, including dispute settlement and employment advisory services, and requested information on the time and resources allocated by labour inspectors to each of these duties. In this respect, the Committee notes the Government’s indication in its report that labour inspectors only carry out functions falling outside of section 78 of the Labour Act on an ad-hoc basis. Recalling that any further duties which may be entrusted to labour inspectors shall not be such as to interfere with the effective discharge of their primary duties under Article 3(1), the Committee once again requests the Government to indicate the time and resources allocated by labour inspectors to each of their various ad-hoc duties, including particularly the processing, referral, and registration of trade disputes and the provision of various employment advisory services, in comparison to those allocated to their primary duties.

Articles 7(3), 10, 11 and 16. Training. Resources of the labour inspection system and inspection visits. The Committee previously noted measures taken to resolve difficulties faced by the Government with regard to the number of labour inspectors, material resources at their disposal, and training, which included the recruitment of additional labour inspectors in the 2009–17 period, and the provision of additional vehicles, personal computers, and capacity-building. In the absence of up-to-date information in this regard, the Committee once again requests the Government to provide information on the number and types of inspections undertaken each year, and on the language capacities of inspectors in relation to the diverse workplace populations. It also once again requests the Government to provide information on the number of labour inspectors, and on training activities provided to labour inspectors, including the subjects covered, the duration of each training session, and the number of participants.
