Repetition In reply to the Committee’s previous direct request, the Government indicated in its report received in November 2012 that there have been no organized labour inspection services carried out in the agricultural industry as agriculture in Dominica is carried out by private individuals on small-scale farms. For the same reason, statistical information on the number of occupational accidents and claims to compensation is difficult to obtain. The Committee notes, however, that the Government undertook to collaborate with the social security institutions to collect the information available on claims made by individuals for injuries sustained in agricultural work. The Committee would welcome such information with the Government’s next detailed report. Please indicate also the total number of workers employed in agriculture in the country.
Part V of the report form. Application of the Convention in practice. The Committee would be grateful if the Government would supply with its next report statistical information on the manner in which the Convention is applied in practice, including general information as to the sanctions in cases of non-compliance with national laws and regulations on employment injuries and the number of occupational accidents registered in agriculture. Please also provide information on the inspections carried out by the labour inspection services as well as relevant extracts of the annual reports of the labour inspection services in this regard.
