Convention (n° 81) sur l'inspection du travail, 1947 - Jersey

Article 3 of the Convention. In its previous comment, the Committee noted the introduction of a duty placed on employers to carry out risk assessments on the safety and health of their employees, through amendments to the Health and Safety at Work (Jersey) Law, 1989. It also noted the publication of revised guidelines which reflect the change in law intended to help employers fulfil their duties in this regard. The Committee notes that the Government indicates, in reply to its previous request on the manner in which the duty of employers to carry out risk assessments is supervised by the labour inspectorate, that this duty is monitored through labour inspections (including proactive inspections and inspections carried out in response to a complaint). The Committee requests that the Government provide further details concerning the supervision by labour inspectors of the risk assessments carried out by employers, including the number of inspections undertaken by labour inspectors (divided by proactive inspections and those carried out in response to a complaint) and their results (that is, the level of compliance by employers with the duty). The Committee also requests that the Government indicate whether the results of self-inspections are fed into the inspection programming process.
