Demande directe (CEACR) - adoptée 1995, publiée 83ème session CIT (1996)

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

The Committee notes that the Government's report contains no reply to previous comments. It hopes that the next report will supply complete information on the points raised in its previous direct request which was couched as follows:

The Committee notes the information provided by the Government, including the annual inspection reports for 1988, 1989 and 1990.

Articles 10, 16, 17 and 18 of the Convention. Further to its previous comments, the Committee hopes the Government will continue in its efforts to ensure that the number of labour inspectors is adequate, covers the whole country and enables workplaces to be inspected as often and as thoroughly as necessary. In view of the numbers of violations and accidents (including 76 fatalities) reported during 1990, the Government is asked to describe the manner in which the inspection operations work in practice.

Article 11, paragraph 1. Further to its previous comments, the Committee notes that the difficulties previously reported in providing facilities for the labour inspection service, particularly as regards transport, persist. The Committee hopes that the Government will redouble its efforts to improve this situation and asks that information on developments continue to be provided.

Articles 20 and 21. Please indicate whether the annual Report on the Activities of the General Inspectorate of Labour is published. Please also include in future reports the numbers of workplaces liable to inspection and of workers employed in them (Article 21(c)).
