Observación (CEACR) - Adopción: 1995, Publicación: 83ª reunión CIT (1996)

The Committee recalls the discussion which took place in the Conference in 1992 and the Government's report in which indications were given that the inspection machinery was undergoing reorganization and that new inspectors would be named after a period of training. It further notes the general information provided with respect to the number of inspections carried out and violations recorded in 1991 which were neither published (as required by Article 20 of the Convention) nor do they contain all the information required (by Article 21). It trusts measures will be taken shortly to ensure that the Convention is fully observed, and that annual labour inspection reports containing information on the work of the labour inspection services, including statistics on the subjects listed under Article 21, will be published and transmitted within the time-limits as required by Article 20.

The Committee further notes that the Government's report refers variously to labour inspectors, employment inspectors and municipal inspectors. The Committee would be grateful if the Government would indicate what are the status, conditions of service and of recruitment, the means used to establish the qualifications as well as any arrangements made to ensure the initial and subsequent training of these inspectors.
