Solicitud directa (CEACR) - Adopción: 1995, Publicación: 83ª reunión CIT (1996)

1. The Committee notes the information supplied by the Government in its report that responsibility for protection of health and safety at work is shared among various authorities and that Parliament has requested the Federal Council to propose a complete overhaul of the system with a view to improving coordination of responsibilities. The Committee requests the Government to send information on the progress of the work of the working group set up for this purpose.

2. Articles 20 and 21 of the Convention. The Committee noted previously that the reports of the inspection services did not contain the laws and regulations relevant to the work of the inspection service or statistics of workplaces liable to inspection and the number of workers employed therein, as provided in Article 21(a) and (c) of the Convention. The Committee notes with interest the Government's indication in its report that the necessary steps have been taken so that all the missing data will be sent each year with subsequent reports. Accordingly, it hopes that the next annual report of the inspection service will deal with all the subjects mentioned in Article 21.
