Observation (CEACR) - adoptée 1994, publiée 81ème session CIT (1994)

Further to its previous comments, the Committee notes with interest the information that, with the technical assistance of the ILO, the Government is currently studying a project for the revision of the labour legislation, and that computers are being introduced in the work of the inspection service to help facilitate access to statistical data. The Committee hopes these developments will enable the Government to take the necessary measures with regard to its previous comments and thus give full effect to Article 14 of the Convention (notification of cases of occupational diseases to the labour inspectorate) and Article 15(b) (obligation of inspectors not to reveal secrets).

Articles 20 and 21. Further to its previous comments, the Committee notes the brief statistical data provided and the information that the report of the inspection service will be transmitted as soon as possible. The Committee recalls that no annual report of the inspection service has been received since 1987, and that the last report failed to include a number of the types of information required by Article 21. The Committee trusts that the necessary measures will be taken to ensure that such annual reports, containing all the necessary information, are published and sent to the ILO within the time-limits required.
