Application of the Convention in practice. Referring to its previous comments, the Committee notes the Government’s statement that the high incidence of industrial accidents stems from the lack of a prevention and safety policy in upstream enterprises, which also means a lack of resources for investing in appropriate protective equipment. The Committee observes that occupational safety and health constitute the essential complement to the protection provided by social security in relation to industrial accidents. The Committee draws the Government’s attention to the Promotional Framework for Occupational Safety and Health Convention, 2006 (No. 187), and Recommendation, 2006 (No. 197), which stress the importance of the ongoing promotion of a national culture of prevention in safety and health, and also to the Labour Inspection Convention, 1947 (No. 81), ratified by Djibouti, under the terms of which labour inspection systems must, inter alia, secure the enforcement of the legal provisions relating to safety, health and welfare, and refers to its comments on this Convention. The Committee therefore requests the Government to provide detailed information on the application of the Convention in practice, indicating the number and nature of the occupational accidents reported and also the total cost of benefits in cash and in kind. The Government is also requested to supply information on the financial situation of the industrial accident and occupational disease branch managed by the National Social Security Fund (CNSS), which has now incorporated the former Social Protection Institute (OPS) and the National Retirement Fund (CNR) with a view, according to the report, to sharing and optimizing the running costs of this branch and those of the old-age pension branch.
