Demande directe (CEACR) - adoptée 2002, publiée 91ème session CIT (2003)

The Committee notes that the Government’s report contains no reply to previous comments. It hopes that the next report will include full information on the matters raised in its previous request, which read as follows:

The Committee notes the Government’s brief report covering the period ending 1 September 1998, which was received on 2 May 2000. Noting that the report contains very limited information on inspection visits and provides no reply to the previous requests of the Committee, the Committee reminds the Government of the need to supply regular information on changes and progress achieved in the spheres covered by this Convention, as well as specific information on the point raised in the Committee’s previous comments which read as follows:

Article 14 of the Convention. The Committee notes from the 1993 annual report of the Department of Labour that reporting of employment injuries was not well adhered to by both employers and the affected employees. Please provide information on any measure taken or envisaged in order to give full effect to this provision.

Articles 20 and 21. Further to its previous comments, the Committee again notes that the 1993 annual report of the Department of Labour does not contain all the information required by the Convention, in particular the laws and regulations relevant to the work of the inspection service (Article 21(a)), statistics of workplaces liable to inspection and the number of workers employed therein (Article 21(c)), statistics of violations and penalties imposed (Article 21(e)), and statistics on occupational diseases (Article 21(g)). The Committee hopes that the necessary steps will be taken by the Government to include all the required information in future annual reports and that such reports will be communicated within the time limits set by Article 20.
