Demande directe (CEACR) - adoptée 1996, publiée 85ème session CIT (1997)

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 and that it will contain full information on the following matters raised in the previous direct request:

1. Article 4 of the Convention. The Committee notes from the Government's report that the services of the Ministry of Labour and Social Insurance are currently being restructured and that particular emphasis is being placed on improving the general labour inspection services and increasing their specialization with a view to making them more competent and effective. The Committee hopes that this restructuring will be completed in the near future and that the refurbished inspection system will be able to ensure the effective enforcement of the laws and regulations relating to safety precautions in the building industry. It requests the Government to supply information in its next report on any progress achieved in this respect.

2. Article 6. The Committee notes the statistics supplied by the Government in its report. It notes that this information is of a general nature and covers accidents occurring in the various sectors of the national economy. The Committee hopes that the Government will be able to supply the ILO with recent statistics in its next report from all the regions of the country, on the number and classification of accidents occurring in particular to persons occupied on work within the scope of this Convention. The Government is also requested, in accordance with the report form on this Convention, to supply information which is as detailed as possible on the number of persons employed in the building industry and covered by the statistics.
