Demande directe (CEACR) - adoptée 2003, publiée 92ème session CIT (2004)

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

In reference to its observation, the Committee draws the Government’s attention to the following points.

Article 14 of the Convention. Notification of cases of occupational disease to the labour inspectors. The Committee notes that subsection 2 of section 11 of the Act respecting employment accidents, to which the Government refers, does not mention the obligation to notify cases of occupational disease but only the obligation to notify occupational accidents. The form sent by the Government mentions both obligations but refers to section 27 of the above Act, which is not available at the Office. The Committee would be grateful if the Government would provide a copy of the Act in full.

Articles 20 and 21. Noting that, according to the Government, the annual inspection report was being prepared, the Committee hopes that the Government will be able regularly to publish and communicate such a report to the Office, as prescribed by Article 20 and that the report will cover each of the subjects specified in Article 21.
