Articles 3, 4 and 6 of the Convention. Structure of the labour inspectorate. The Committee notes that in its report on the Labour Administration Convention, 1978 (No. 150), the Government indicates that, by Resolution 9.314 of 8 September 2015, it approved the Plan to update the system for the administration of labour justice in administrative proceedings (PASJTSA), for a duration of 15 months from that date. Among other things, the PASJTSA provided for labour inspection to be organized as follows: labour inspection for collective rights, labour inspection for penalties and labour inspection for individual rights. The Committee requests the Government to provide information on the results of the abovementioned Plan and, should it be extended, to give particulars of the three divisions of labour inspection, including their composition and functions.

Articles 10 and 11. Number of inspectors and material resources. In its previous comments, the Committee requested information on the composition of the supervisory units and the number of persons in these units who perform inspection duties. It also requested information on the number of labour inspectors who report to the National Institute for Prevention and Health and Safety at Work (INPSASEL), indicating their geographical distribution, fields of specialization and training.

The Committee notes the observations from the Independent Trade Union Alliance (ASI) to the effect that owing to the new forms of work organization and the constant recourse to flexibility measures, the labour inspection services need to be resized and that the People’s Ministry of Labour and Social Security (MINPPTRASS) is short of staff and stands out as the ministry with the lowest budget in the Public Administration.

Consequently, the Committee requests the Government to provide information on the current numbers of labour supervisors and inspectors who report to the INPSASEL and on the policy followed in defining requirements in terms of the number of supervisors and inspectors the INPSASEL needs in order to provide sufficient coverage of the workplaces liable to inspection. It also requests that the Government provide information showing how the budget assigned to the labour inspection services has evolved in the last five years.
