Convenio sobre la inspección del trabajo, 1947 (núm. 81) - Jamaica (Ratificación : 1962)

Further to its observation, the Committee notes the copy of the Staff Orders for the Public Service provided by the Government with its report (Article 6 of the Convention); and that there has been no change in application of the Convention since the Committee's previous comments in 1990.

Articles 20 and 21. The Committee notes the 1990 Statistical Bulletin of the Ministry of Labour sent by the Government. Although the Bulletin provides a broad range of labour statistics, there seems to be very little account taken of the requirements of these Articles of the Convention, which was ratified by Jamaica in 1962. Accordingly, while information on the staff of the labour inspection services, statistics on inspections visits and the laws involved have been provided, there is no indication of the statistics of workplaces liable to inspection and the number of workers employed therein (Article 21(c)); statistics of violations and penalties imposed (21(e)); statistics of industrial accidents (21(f)) or statistics of occupational diseases (21(g)). The Committee hopes that the next statistical bulletin will provide all the information required by the Convention and will be sent to the ILO within the time-limits stated in Article 20.
