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

Labour Inspection Convention, 1947 (No. 81) - Cabo Verde (Ratification: 1979)

The Committee hopes the Government's next report will include all available information as to the practical application of the Convention, with particular reference to the provisions mentioned in the Committee's observation and the following.

Article 3(2) of the Convention. Please indicate any duties assigned to labour inspectors under section 31(j) of Decree No. 154/91.

Articles 7 and 8. Please describe qualifications and other conditions for recruitment to the labour inspectorate. Please also describe the training measures taken under section 29(2) of Decree No. 154/91.

Articles 10, 11 and 16. The Committee has noted with interest the provisions in section 28 and the Appendix of Decree No. 154/91 and the information in the report, concerning numbers of inspectors and means of transport provided. It would be glad if the Government would in future reports continue to describe the material and other practical conditions under which inspectors work, and if it would indicate how far it is considered that adequate frequency and throughness of inspection visits are ensured.

Article 14. Section 11 of Decree No. 110/76 having been repealed, please indicate how it is ensured that the labour inspectorate is notified of industrial accidents and diseases.

Articles 20 and 21. The Committee notes the staffing and other difficulties mentioned by the Government in preparing and publishing the annual inspection report required by the Convention. It looks forward to the Government supplying further information in its next report, and it hopes that any inspection reports - however partial - which are prepared will be transmitted.
