Referring to its observation, the Committee wishes to raise the following additional points.

Article 8 of the Convention. Eligibility of both men and women for appointment in the inspection staff. The Committee notes the Government’s statement in its report that both men and women are eligible for appointment as labour inspectors. However, only men are eligible for appointment to inspection staff in mines, as section 23(c)(1) of the Mines Act states that no female can be employed in any part of a mine that is underground. The Committee recalls that, pursuant to Article 8 of the Convention, both men and women shall be eligible for appointment to the inspection staff. It accordingly requests the Government to take measures to ensure that both women and men are eligible for appointment as inspectors in all sectors.

Articles 14 and 21(g). Occupational diseases. The Committee notes that the Government’s report does not contain any information on the number of occupational diseases detected in the four provinces. The Committee requests the Government to provide information on the manner in which the labour inspectorate is notified of cases of occupational disease. It also requests the Government to take measures to ensure the collection and publication of statistical information on occupational diseases, in conformity with Article 21(g) of the Convention.

[The Government is asked to reply in detail to the present comments in 2015.]
