Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 1992, published 79th ILC session (1992)

Labour Inspection Convention, 1947 (No. 81) - Saudi Arabia (Ratification: 1978)

1. Articles 20 and 21 of the Convention. The Committee notes the information provided in the Government's report and the annual report on the activities of the labour inspection services for the year 1988. It notes that the annual report does not contain statistics of the workplaces subject to inspection. The Committee hopes that all the information required by Article 21 will be included in future reports and that these reports will be published and sent to the International Labour Office within the time-limits established by the Convention.

2. The Committee recalls that mining and transport undertakings have not been exempted from the application of the Convention under Article 2(2). It would be grateful if the Government would include in its next report the information requested in the report form, relating in particular to these sectors.
