Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 2001, published 90th ILC session (2002)

Labour Inspection Convention, 1947 (No. 81) - Eswatini (Ratification: 1981)

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 request, which read as follows:

Referring also to its observation, the Committee notes the Government’s report and the attached documents.

The Committee requests the Government to supply information on the conclusions of the audit recently conducted through the Public Sector Management Programme (PSMP) and on the measures recommended as a result with a view to improving conditions of service for all workers in the public sector, including labour inspectors.

The Committee requests the Government also to supply details on the progress of the draft legislation concerning occupational health and safety submitted to Parliament, and if the text has already been adopted, to supply a copy to the ILO.

The Committee notes that the 1998 inspection report does not contain, as laid down in Article 21(c), statistics of workplaces liable to inspection. It therefore requests the Government once again to ensure that this information is provided in future annual labour inspection reports so that it can evaluate fully the manner in which effect is given to Articles 10 and 16.
