Observation (CEACR) - adopted 1992, published 79th ILC session (1992)

Labour Inspection (Agriculture) Convention, 1969 (No. 129) - Colombia (Ratification: 1976)

Articles 1, 4, 14, 18 and 21 of the Convention. The Committee notes from the new information provided by the Government that only undertakings with a highly profitable infrastructure are considered "agricultural undertakings" and inspected as such. At the same time, the "intermediate sector" employs during harvest time young persons and women who are said to be unprotected as regards occupational safety and health. The Committee would be glad if the Government would indicate what measures are proposed to ensure that the system of labour inspection will in future apply to all agricultural undertakings as defined in the Convention.
