The Committee notes the Government’s reports.

Part IV of the report form. The Committee notes the Government’s indication that, among the inspections carried out in the field of safety and health, the inspection of industrial enterprises is given priority with a view to monitoring the hazards to which the majority of workers are exposed. The Committee therefore requests the Government to indicate the number of inspections carried out in industrial enterprises and those undertaken in commerce and offices. With regard to the contraventions reported during inspections carried out in commerce and offices, the Government indicates that inadequate protection against fires in office kitchens and the use of chairs which do not correspond to ergonomic requirements constitute the majority of the contraventions. The Committee requests the Government to continue providing information on the manner in which the Convention is applied in practice in the country.
