Convenio sobre la inspección del trabajo, 1947 (núm. 81) - República Centroafricana (Ratificación : 1964)

Material resources for inspection. The Committee notes the brief indications provided by the Government in reply to its previous comments. It notes with concern the Government’s confirmation that it still does not pay the travel expenses of labour inspectors and that, due to the lack of transport facilities, labour inspectors devote more of their time to resolving disputes than inspecting enterprises. The Committee trusts that the Government will take the necessary measures in the near future to furnish labour inspectors with the material resources and transport facilities necessary for the performance of their duties (Article 11 of the Convention), so that workplaces are inspected as often and as thoroughly as is necessary to ensure the effective application of the legal provisions relating to conditions of work and the protection of workers (Article 16). It hopes that, where necessary, international cooperation and ILO technical support will be able to facilitate the more effective application of this priority Convention. The Committee requests the Government to describe in its next report of the measures adopted for this purpose.
