Demande directe (CEACR) - adoptée 1992, publiée 79ème session CIT (1992)

Convention (n° 81) sur l'inspection du travail, 1947 - Eswatini (Ratification: 1981)

Article 11, paragraphs 1(b) and 2 of the Convention. Further to its previous comments, the Committee notes the encouraging information provided concerning the granting of car loans to labour inspectors and the provision of vehicles to the labour inspectorate. Please continue to describe developments in this respect.

Article 13, paragraph 2(b). In previous direct requests, the Committee expressed the hope that the Improvement and Prohibition Notices Regulations (to which the Government has previously referred) would soon be adopted with a view to empowering inspectors to order measures with immediate executory force in the event of imminent danger to the health or safety of workers. The Committee notes that still no progress has been achieved. It trusts that any technical cooperation in areas relating to the labour inspectorate will have as at least part of their objectives the promotion of these important regulations. Please continue to describe developments in this area.

Articles 20 and 21. The Committee notes mention in the Government's report of a 1990 annual report; unfortunately it has not been received. The Committee hopes that annual reports will be published and sent on time, and that they will include all the required information, particularly as regards numbers of workplaces liable to inspection and workers employed in them.
