The Committee notes the Government’s detailed report. It notes the replies to its previous comments and the annual inspection report for 2000.

Increase in the number of inspection staff. The Committee notes with interestthat the increase in the number of labour inspectors has made it possible to overcome certain difficulties in the application of the Convention, particularly by promoting the activity of visits to establishments.

Safety and health at work of non-Arabic-speaking workers. The Committee also notes with interest that labour inspectors have been provided with training focused on safety and health at work and the relevant Conventions and that this training has enabled them to develop information and advisory activities for non Arabic speaking employers and workers with a view to eliminating the risk of industrial accidents caused by ignorance of the Arabic language.

The Committee is addressing a request directly to the Government on certain points.
