Observation (CEACR) - adoptée 2009, publiée 99ème session CIT (2010)

Convention (n° 81) sur l'inspection du travail, 1947 - Grèce (Ratification: 1955)

Article 20 of the Convention. Publication of the annual labour inspection report. The Committee notes with satisfaction that the Government published the annual labour inspection report for 2007 less than 12 months after the end of the year to which it related, and communicated it to the ILO by September 2008. The Committee would be grateful if the Government would ensure the continuation of this practice, in accordance with Article 20 of the Convention.

Article 21. Content of the annual labour inspection report. The Committee notes with interest the detailed information and statistics contained in the annual report for 2007 on labour inspection visits by branch of activity, industrial accidents, the establishments and workers covered, the violations found and the penalties imposed. The Committee however notes that, while Article 21 refers to statistics of cases of occupational disease, such statistics are still not reflected in the annual report. The Committee would be grateful if the Government would indicate whether and in which manner statistics on occupational diseases are being collected and whether their publication in the annual report is envisaged.

The Committee would also be grateful if the Government would indicate or transmit to the ILO any comments made by employers’ and/or workers’ organizations on the work of the labour inspection services.

The Committee is raising other points in a request addressed directly to the Government.
