Observation (CEACR) - adoptée 2000, publiée 89ème session CIT (2001)

The Committee notes that the Government has not supplied the report in reply to the previous repeated comments but that the information requested would be provided by the ad hoc technical commission. It also notes that the annual report on the work of the labour inspection service provides some of the information requested under Article 21 of the Convention and does not appear to have been published as required by Article 20. The Committee also notes that no information has been supplied making it possible to ensure that employers’ and workers’ organizations have been informed of the data given in the annual inspection report in order to be able to give their opinion on the manner in which the Convention is or should be applied as provided in Part V of the report form. The Committee therefore requests the Government to supply, as soon as possible, a detailed report on the application of the Convention as well as replies to the Committee’s previous comments.

Noting in point 16 of the annual general report of the labour, health and safety at work inspection services that the inspectors have undertaken a vast inspection operation in order to ensure that a certificate of non-contamination by the AIDS virus is supplied by each worker and placed in his personal file.
