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

Further to its observation the Committee hopes that a report will be supplied for examination by the Committee at its next session and that it will contain full information on the matters raised in its previous direct request, which read as follows:

Articles 20 and 21. Further to its observation, the Committee notes the 1990 Statistical Bulletin of the Ministry of Labour sent by the Government. Although the Bulletin provides a broad range of labour statistics, there seems to be very little account taken of the requirements of these Articles of the Convention, which was ratified by Jamaica in 1962. Accordingly, while information on the staff of the labour inspection services, statistics on inspections visits and the laws involved have been provided, there is no indication of the statistics of workplaces liable to inspection and the number of workers employed therein (Article 21(c)); statistics of violations and penalties imposed (21(e)); statistics of industrial accidents (21(f)) or statistics of occupational diseases (21(g)). The Committee hopes that the next statistical bulletin will provide all the information required by the Convention and will be sent to the ILO within the time-limits stated in Article 20.
