Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 1996, published 85th ILC session (1997)

Article 6 of the Convention. In its general observation of 1988 on this Article of the Convention, the Committee had reminded governments of the obligation to send to the Office the most recent statistical information on the number and classification of accidents affecting persons engaged in work covered by it. Since no new pertinent information arrived with the Government's last report received in June 1995 the Committee is obliged, once again, to draw the Government's attention to the fact that, by virtue of this Article, all member States ratifying the Convention undertake to supply the statistical data mentioned. It hopes that the Government will be in a position to supply, in the near future, the information required by this Article of the Convention.

Referring to its previous comments, the Committee requests the Government to provide extracts of inspection reports and information on the number and the nature of infringements recorded (point V of the report form) so as to have general indications of the manner in which the Convention is applied in practice.
