Observation (CEACR) - adopted 2021, published 110th ILC session (2022)

Labour Inspection Convention, 1947 (No. 81) - Grenada (Ratification: 1979)

Display in: French - SpanishView all

Articles 20 and 21 of the Convention. Establishment, publication and communication to the ILO of annual inspection reports. The Committee notes that, in reply to its previous comments regarding the publication and transmission to the ILO of the annual inspection report, the Government indicates that no labour inspection report has been produced. The Government notes that during the year 2020, given the onset of the pandemic, the Ministry of Labour, along with workers’ and employers’ representatives, inspected a number of Government offices and statutory bodies to ensure compliance with COVID-19 protocols. The Government indicates that a copy of the report produced on the occasion of those visits will be shared with the Office. The Committee once again urges the Government to indicate the measures adopted or envisaged to ensure that annual inspection reports are published and transmitted to the ILO, in accordance with the requirements of Articles 20 and 21. The Committee reminds the Government of the possibility to avail itself of ILO technical assistance for this purpose.
The Committee requests the Government, in any event, to provide statistical information that is as detailed as possible on the activities of the labour inspection services (such as industrial and commercial workplaces liable to inspection, number of inspections, infringements detected and the legal provisions to which they relate, penalties applied, number of industrial accidents and cases of occupational disease) to enable the Committee to make an informed assessment on the application of the Convention in practice.
The Committee is raising other matters in a request addressed directly to the Government.
