Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 2010, published 100th ILC session (2011)

Labour Inspection Convention, 1947 (No. 81) - Bahrain (Ratification: 1981)

The Committee notes the Government’s report received on 1 September 2010, as well as Order No. 74 of 2007 and the voluminous annual reports for 2009 of the labour inspectorate and the occupational safety and health services. As the time needed for the translation of the Order and the annual reports did not allow it to examine these documents, the Committee will examine them together with the Government’s report at its next session. However, noting that, according to the Government, the authority responsible for regulating the labour market has started assuming functions relating to the issuing and control of work permits, previously assigned to the Labour Inspectorate, meanwhile the Committee asks the Government to provide the ILO with a copy of the relevant texts.
