Observation (CEACR) - adopted 1995, published 83rd ILC session (1996)

Labour Inspection Convention, 1947 (No. 81) - Egypt (Ratification: 1956)

Further to its previous observation, the Committee notes with interest the Government's report and the labour inspection and industrial safety reports for the first six months of 1993. It also notes that these reports are published in the form provided for by Article 20 of the Convention and that they contain the relevant subjects required by Article 21 of the Convention. The Committee further notes the Government's indication that some inspection reports are prepared on a six-monthly basis and others on a yearly basis. The Committee draws the Government's attention to Article 20 which requires that a general report be published annually. It also refers to the explanations contained in paragraph 278 of its 1985 General Survey on labour inspection to express the desirability of publishing such reports in a single document, unless they result from the work of autonomous labour inspection services covering different branches of activity or different objects of supervision. It hopes the Government will take these points into account, so that the manner in which the Convention is being applied can be duly appreciated.
