Observation (CEACR) - adopted 2001, published 90th ILC session (2002)

The Committee notes the Government’s brief report. It notes that there is no reply to its previous comments.

Referring to its previous observation, the Committee requests the Government to supply information on the effect of implementation of the new preventive approach to labour inspection through the use of the media and consultations with employers and workers on the application of labour legislation covered by the Convention.

The Government is also requested to supply information on the measures already requested by the Committee as to how effect is given in law and in practice to Article 14 of the Convention laying down that the labour inspection service shall be notified of industrial accidents and cases of occupational disease in such cases and in such manner as may be prescribed by national laws or regulations.

Noting that, despite the Government’s affirmation that an annual inspection report is prepared regularly, to date none of these reports has been received by the ILO, the Committee would be grateful if the Government would take all appropriate measures to ensure in future that an annual inspection report containing information on the subjects listed in Article 21 is published and communicated to the ILO within the time limits laid down in Article 20.
