Labour Inspection Convention, 1947 (No. 81) - Portugal (RATIFICATION: 1962)

DISPLAYINFrench - SpanishAlle anzeigen

Further to its previous comments, the Committee notes the Government's report, particularly with regard to the application of Article 10 of the Convention and the new texts which have been adopted.

Article 14. The Committee notes with interest that section 14 of Decree No. 441/91 provides that all employers are obliged to notify the general labour inspection service, within 24 hours of its occurrence, of any accident which is mortal or particularly serious. In this respect, it notes the comment made by the General Confederation of Portuguese Workers to the effect that accidents which do not have the above characteristics are not notified to the labour inspection services. The Committee requests the Government to supply information on how effect is given in practice to this provision, and to indicate whether it is envisaged to adopt rules regarding the notification by the employer of other cases of industrial accidents and occupational diseases.
