Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 1997, published 86th ILC session (1998)

Labour Inspection Convention, 1947 (No. 81) - Uruguay (Ratification: 1973)

1. Article 14 of the Convention. The Committee notes that under section 14 of the Ministerial Decision of 23 June 1995, serious accidents must be notified to the General Labour and Social Security Inspectorate (IGTSS) within 12 hours following the accident. The Committee asks the Government to indicate whether the IGTSS is also informed, as prescribed by national laws and regulations, of occupational accidents which are not serious and, if so, within what time-limits.

2. Articles 20 and 21. With reference to its previous comments, the Committee hopes that the Government will publish and send to the ILO an annual inspection report containing information on all the matters set out in Article 21.
