Observation (CEACR) - adoptée 1992, publiée 79ème session CIT (1992)

Convention (n° 81) sur l'inspection du travail, 1947 - Suriname (Ratification: 1976)

Further to its previous comments, the Committee notes once again that there has been no change in the application of Articles 14 (notification of cases of occupational diseases to the labour inspectorate) and 15(b) (obligation of inspectors not to reveal secrets) and that national legislation does not address these important requirements of the Convention. The Committee asks the Government to provide an indication of what action it is taking to remedy this problem and hopes that the necessary measures will soon be taken.

Articles 20 and 21. The Committee notes the Government's statement that the annual report of the labour inspection for the year 1988 will be forwarded as soon as possible. It notes, however, that the most recent report received was for 1987, which failed to include a number of the types of information required by Article 21. The Committee hopes that the necessary measures will be taken to ensure that annual reports of the inspection services, containing all the necessary information, are published and sent to the ILO within the time-limits required.
