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

Labour Inspection (Agriculture) Convention, 1969 (No. 129) - Costa Rica (Ratification: 1972)

The Committee notes that the Government's report has not been received. It 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 requests, which read as follows:

Article 18, paragraph 4, of the Convention. With reference to its previous comments, the Committee notes from the Government's report that section 19 of Decree No. 13466-TSS of 1982 Social Security Act2 will be amended so that it provides for the notification of preventive measures that have been ordered in the field of occupational health, not only to employers but also to workers' representatives. It trusts that the necessary measures to give full effect to this provision of the Convention will be taken in the near future.

Articles 26 and 27. See under Convention No. 81, Articles 20 and 21, as follows:

Articles 20 and 21 of the Convention. With reference to its previous comments, the Committee takes note of the information supplied by the Government to the effect that the Records Department of the Ministry of Labour and Social Security is to be reorganised and will have a computerised data processing system, which will enable statistical data to be compiled thereby facilitating application of these Articles of the Convention. The Committee trusts that the measures contemplated will be taken very shortly and that, as a result, annual inspection reports containing precise information on all the subjects listed in Article 21 will be published and forwarded to the International Labour Office within the time-limits set forth in Article 20.
