Demande directe (CEACR) - adoptée 2000, publiée 89ème session CIT (2001)

The Committee notes that the Government’s report contains no reply to previous comments. It hopes that the next report will contain full information on the matters raised in its previous direct request, which reads as follows:

Article 5 of the Convention.  The Committee notes the information supplied by the Government that no arrangements have been made to promote effective cooperation between inspection services and other government services and public or private institutions engaged in similar activities, and collaboration between officials of the labour inspectorate and employers and workers or their organizations. The Committee hopes that the appropriate measures will be adopted for such cooperation and that the Government will report on any steps taken to this effect.

Articles 20 and 21.  The Committee has taken note of the labour inspection report for 1994 and 1995. It notes with interest that the report now contains statistics on industrial accidents. Referring also to its 1996 general observation under the Convention relating to the practical guidelines for the collection, recording and communication of reliable data on occupational accidents and diseases contained in the 1996 ILO publication Recording and notification of occupational accidents and diseases, the Committee hopes that future annual labour inspection reports will also contain statistics on occupational diseases.
