Demande directe (CEACR) - adoptée 1990, publiée 77ème session CIT (1990)

Convention (n° 81) sur l'inspection du travail, 1947 - Mauritanie (Ratification: 1963)

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:

Article 10 of the Convention. So that the labour inspectorate may perform its duties satisfactorily, it should have sufficiently qualified staff in adequate numbers, which does not seem to be the case in all regions. The Committee therefore hopes that the Government will not fail to make every effort to strengthen the labour inspection staff, and requests it to indicate in its next report the number of inspectors and supervisors currently employed in the various regional offices.

Article 11, paragraph 1. The Committee requests the Government to provide detailed information on the material organisation of the labour inspection services and particularly on the means of transport available to labour inspectors and supervisors.

Article 11, paragraph 2. The Government is asked to state under which provisions labour inspectors and supervisors are guaranteed reimbursement of travel and incidental expenses.

Article 16. The Committee requests the Government to indicate the frequency of visits to workplaces liable to inspection in the various regions.

Articles 20 and 21. The Committee takes note of the report on the activities of the labour inspection services in 1987. It asks the Government to indicate whether this report has been published and made available to the services, institutions and persons concerned. Furthermore, the Committee notes that the report does not contain information on all the subjects listed under Article 21, particularly on the items concerning statistics of workplaces liable to inspection and the number of workers employed therein (point (c)) and statistics of occupational diseases (point (g)). It hopes that, in future, annual inspection reports will contain all the information required by Article 21 and that they will be published and transmitted to the ILO within the time-limits laid down in Article 20.
