With reference to its observation, the Committee wishes to draw the Government’s attention to the following additional points.
Article 5(b) of the Convention. Collaboration between labour inspectors and employers and workers or their organizations. The Committee notes with interest that, according to the Government, the Employment and Labour Relations Act, No. 6 of 2004 aims to strengthen collaboration between the trade unions and the labour inspectorate through participation of union representatives in the application of labour laws and also in the application of safety and health legislation (section 62(1)(b) and (4)). Furthermore, sections 11 and 12 of the Occupational Health and Safety Act No. 5 of 2003 provide for the appointment of OSH representatives at the workplace as a preventive measure. The Committee requests the Government to send copies of these laws to the ILO and supply information on their application in practice and their impact on both the application of labour and social security legislation and risk prevention in the workplace.
Articles 6 and 7. Status, conditions of service, recruitment and training of inspection staff. The Committee notes with interest that, according to the Government, the training of labour officers is a priority, that 92 labour officers were trained in 2009–10 and that training is also provided for under the project to improve application of the Labour Code. It also notes that the training of inspectors responsible for the enforcement of OSH provisions is under way, particularly covering specialist fields such as chemical hazards, boilers, lifting equipment and ergonomics. The Committee requests the Government to supply information on the impact of this training on the working of the labour inspectorate, including statistical data provided for by Articles 20 and 21 of the Convention. It also requests the Government to supply information on the status, conditions of service and recruitment of inspection staff.
Article 11. Labour inspection resources. The Committee notes the indication that nine vehicles were purchased with the assistance of a technical cooperation programme and will be distributed to certain offices to improve labour inspection. The Committee requests the Government to continue to supply information on the material and logistical resources made available to labour officers and inspectors in the field of occupational safety and health for the performance of their duties and also on the impact of these resources on the number and effectiveness of inspections.
