DISPLAYINEnglish - French - SpanishAlle anzeigen

The Committee notes that the Government's report has not been received. It must therefore repeat its previous observation on the following matters.

Article 3, paragraph 1, and Articles 10 and 16 of the Convention. In its previous comments the Committee referred to the lack of human and material means at the disposal of the labour inspection and to the drop in labour inspection activities. It noted the indication that the reinforcement of labour inspection was among the Government's priorities. The Committee again expresses the hope that the Government will provide information on any further measures taken to this effect. Articles 20 and 21. The Committee has previously noted the consolidated report by the Labour Department covering the period 1975-90, which gives some indications on establishment inspections, but does not provide all the information required under Article 21. The Committee expresses once again the hope that the Government will take the appropriate measures to ensure that annual inspection reports, containing precise information on all the matters enumerated in Article 21, are published and transmitted to the ILO within the time limits set out in Article 20. Referring also to its 1996 general observation under the Convention relating to the practical guidelines for collection, recording and communication of reliable data on occupational accidents and diseases contained in the 1996 ILO publication Recording and notification of occupational accidents and diseases, the Committee hopes that the Government will report on any progress in this regard.

The Committee hopes that the Government will make every effort to take the necessary action in the very near future.
