Demande directe (CEACR) - adoptée 1995, publiée 83ème session CIT (1996)

Convention (n° 81) sur l'inspection du travail, 1947 - Barbade (Ratification: 1967)

Articles 10, 11, 16, 20 and 21 of the Convention. Further to its previous comments the Committee notes the statistics on inspections relating to the period ending December 1990 contained in the Government's report and in particular the indication that 740 visits were made to factories and other workplaces including quarries. The Committee also notes the annual reports of the Department of Labour for the years 1984-87 received in September 1995 containing information on labour inspection. The Committee hopes that the Government will be in a position to provide more detailed information on the application of the Convention's main requirement that workplaces be inspected as often and thoroughly as necessary to ensure the effective application of legal provisions. It also hopes that the Government will publish and send to the ILO annual inspection reports containing information on all the subjects listed in Article 21 within the time-limits fixed in Article 20.
