Referring to its observation, the Committee also wishes to raise the following points.
Article 9(3) of the Convention. Training of labour inspectors in agriculture in the course of their employment. The Committee previously noted that inspectors had received training on risk prevention in the forestry sector. The Committee requests the Government once again to state the number of inspectors in agriculture who have participated in this training in the various regions of the country.
Articles 12(1) and 6(1) and (2). Cooperation between the labour inspection services and other government services with a view to risk prevention in agriculture. The Committee previously noted that the labour inspectorate-general prepared a full report in 2006, for the specialist departments of the Ministry of Livestock Farming, Agriculture and Fisheries, on risk identification and prevention in the livestock farming sector. The Committee again requests the Government to send a copy of the full report.
The Committee also notes with interest that joint actions have been implemented by the labour inspectorate-general, the Ministry of Public Health, the Ministry of Livestock Farming, Agriculture and Fisheries, and the State Insurance Bank, aimed at the prevention of brucellosis. It further notes the establishment of an inter-institutional working group which has worked on the implementation of information activities for workers with regard to this disease and its prevention. It further notes the cooperation between labour inspectors from the division dealing with the environmental conditions of labour and the Ministry of Livestock Farming, Agriculture and Fisheries as regards the implementation of training days. The Committee requests the Government to send information on the impact of the joint actions and training days referred to above on the objective of the Convention.
Article 15(b). Transport facilities available to labour inspectors in agriculture for their duty travel. The Committee notes with interest the indication that the Ministry of Labour is planning to purchase more vehicles for use by labour inspectors and that the budget allocations for travel expenses have been considerably increased. The Committee requests the Government to continue to supply information on the changes regarding transport facilities available to labour inspectors in agriculture.
