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

Labour Inspection (Agriculture) Convention, 1969 (No. 129) - Malawi (Ratification: 1971)

Article 19 of the Convention. Further to its previous comments, the Committee notes with interest that the Workers' Compensation Act includes provision in section 24 for the notification of occupational accidents and diseases. It would be glad if the Government would clarify whether, in the light of section 2(a), this applies to persons whose employment is "of a casual nature". It hopes the Government will also provide a copy of the new rules involving inspectors in on-the-spot inquiries into serious cases.

Articles 14, 15, 21, 26 and 27. The Committee's comments under Convention No. 81 apply.
