Observation (CEACR) - adoptée 1990, publiée 77ème session CIT (1990)

The Committee notes the information supplied by the Government in its report for 1988 concerning the application of Article 16, paragraph 2, of the Convention. However, the Committee notes that no progress has yet been made in giving effect to the provisions of Article 19 (notification of occupational diseases and association of inspectors with any inquiry into the causes of the most serious occupational accidents or occupational diseases). On this point, it refers to its previous observation and hopes that the Government will not fail to take the appropriate legislative measures in the near future.

Articles 26 and 27. See under Convention No. 81, Articles 20 and 21, as follows:

Articles 20 and 21 of the Convention. With reference to its previous comments, the Committee notes with regret that no progress has yet been made with regard to the publication of annual inspection reports. However, it notes from the report communicated by the Government in 1988, that it is planned to include the information and statistics provided for in Article 21 of the Convention in the Ministry of Labour's annual statistical bulletin. The Committee trusts that the Government will not fail to take the necessary steps to ensure that annual reports on the work of the inspection services are published and communicated to the International Labour Office within the time-limits laid down in Article 20.
