Solicitud directa (CEACR) - Adopción: 1994, Publicación: 81ª reunión CIT (1994)

The Committee notes that the Government's report has not been received. It hopes that a report will be supplied for examination by the Committee at its next session and that it will contain full information on the matters raised in its previous direct request, which read as follows:

Articles 10, 11 and 16 of the Convention. The Committee notes that the economic situation in the country has not improved enough to provide all inspectors with the necessary transport facilities and to attract persons to the job in order to increase their number. It again recalls that the number of inspectors and the transport and other facilities provided should be sufficient to ensure that all workplaces are inspected as often and as thoroughly as necessary. It hopes that it will be possible for new measures to be taken shortly to improve the application of the Convention.

Articles 20 and 21(a), (b), (c), (f) and (g). The Committee recalls that annual general reports on the work of the inspection services are required to be published and transmitted within the time-limits laid down in Article 20 of the Convention. It hopes the Government will be able to make further progress in preparing these reports and that they will also contain, among other relevant subjects, the pertinent laws and regulations, the staff of the labour inspection service, statistics of workplaces liable to inspection and the number of workers employed therein, statistics of industrial accidents, and statistics of occupational diseases, as required by the Convention.

The Committee wishes to point out that the technical help of the Office is available to assist the Government in addressing these points.
