Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 2002, published 91st ILC session (2003)

Labour Inspection Convention, 1947 (No. 81) - Saint Vincent and the Grenadines (Ratification: 1998)

The Committee notes that the Government’s report contains no reply to previous comments. It hopes that the next report will include full information on the matters raised in its previous direct request, which read as follows:

The Committee notes with interest the information contained in the Government’s first report indicating the effect given to each of the provisions of the Convention. It also notes the provisions of the Accidents and Occupational Diseases (Notification) Act, No. 24 of 1952, as amended. However, the Committee notes that the annual inspection report, which the Government indicated had been forwarded, has not been received by the ILO. It trusts that in future an annual report will be published and forwarded to the ILO in the form and within the time limits set out in Article 20 of the Convention, and that it will contain information on each of the subjects indicated in Article 21, so that the Committee has the practical elements available to assess the extent to which the Convention is applied.

The Committee requests the Government to provide the ILO with copies of the laws and regulations respecting the organization and operation of the labour inspection system.
