Observation (CEACR) - adopted 2011, published 101st ILC session (2012)

Labour Inspection Convention, 1947 (No. 81) - Gabon (Ratification: 1972)

Articles 20 and 21 of the Convention and Part IV of the report form. Pursuant to its previous comments, the Committee takes note of the annual activities report of the General Inspectorate for Hygiene and Occupational Medicine for 2010, and the activities report of the General Directorate for Labour, Manpower and Employment for 2010, which were attached to the Government’s report.

The Committee notes with interest that, following the Government’s request, the ILO has conducted a diagnostic study of Gabon’s labour administration and inspection systems, and that recommendations have been made regarding the organization and strengthening of labour inspection. The Committee would be grateful if the Government would indicate all the measures adopted or envisaged in order to implement the recommendations made in the context of the ILO’s diagnostic study, as well as any practical difficulties that may have been encountered.

The Committee is raising other points in a request addressed directly to the Government.
