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

The Committee notes the information received from the Government in July 1992, although no report under article 22 of the Constitution has been received.

Articles 10, 11 and 16 of the Convention. Further to its previous comments, the Committee notes that the number of inspectors has increased (from 18 in 1986 to 65 in 1991); a survey was to be conducted to determine the number of establishments throughout the country; and the number of establishments visited in August 1991 was 520. The Committee hopes the Government will continue to describe measures taken or envisaged to make sure the inspection service is able to monitor the application of the relevant legal provisions.

Article 14. Further to its previous comments concerning measures which would lead to occupational accidents and diseases being notified to the labour inspection services, the Committee notes that the administrative reform anticipated has not become effective. It hopes the Government will indicate any developments with a view to giving effect to this Article of the Convention.

Articles 20 and 21. Further to its previous comment, the Committee notes that the Government has not published an annual report on the activities of the inspection services, but the necessary information is compiled each month. The Committee trusts the Government will supply annual inspection reports in the near future.
