Observation (CEACR) - adoptée 1992, publiée 79ème session CIT (1992)

Articles 16, 20 and 21 of the Convention. Further to comments it has been making for many years, the Committee notes with regret that the Office has once again not received an annual report on the activities of the inspection services. The Committee recalls the importance of annual inspection reports as an essential means of obtaining evidence of the activities of the inspection services, and showing whether workplaces are being inspected as often and as thoroughly as is necessary to ensure the effective application of relevant legal provisions. The Committee understands that the ILO has extended certain technical cooperation in this area and expresses its hope that the necessary measures will be taken to ensure that an annual report on the activities of the inspection service with all the necessary information provided therein will soon be provided. The Committee is addressing a request for additional information directly to the Government.
