Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 1993, published 80th ILC session (1993)

Labour Inspection Convention, 1947 (No. 81) - Kuwait (Ratification: 1964)

Articles 16, 20 and 21 of the Convention. The Committee notes the information relating to 1989 provided in the Government's reply to its earlier comments. It recalls the importance it attaches to the publication and transmission to the Office of annual inspection reports which should contain all the information referred to in Article 21. The purpose of these reports is to facilitate an assessment of the problems and practical results of inspection activities, and to show how far the Convention's aim of ensuring that undertakings are inspected as often and as thoroughly as necessary to ensure the application of the legislation is implemented. In this light, the Committee notes that the large majority of undertakings inspected in 1989 had breached the provisions of legislation, although most of these subsequently corrected themselves. It hopes future reports will indicate any further measures taken in this light. It trusts also that the Government will publish annual inspection reports which include all the points listed in Article 21, within the time-limits set in Article 20 of the Convention.
