Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 1990, published 77th ILC session (1990)

Labour Inspection Convention, 1947 (No. 81) - Sierra Leone (Ratification: 1961)

The Committee notes that the Government's report has not been received. It hopes that a report will be supplied for examination by the Committee at its next session and that it will contain full information on the matters raised in its previous direct request, which read as follows:

The Committee would be grateful if the Government would supply detailed information on the measures that have been taken in order to give greater effect to the Convention, particularly regarding the following points:

Articles 10 and 16 of the Convention. Please indicate whether the number of labour inspectors is sufficient to enable them to visit the workplaces liable to inspection as often and as thoroughly as is necessary.

Article 11. Please indicate the transport facilities furnished to labour inspectors in order to enable them to perform their duties effectively.

Articles 20 and 21. The Committee notes the financial difficulties referred to in the report, which prevent the publication of the annual inspection reports, and requests the Government to refer to the observation it made in 1987. It once again expresses the hope that future annual reports on the activities of the labour inspection services will contain all the information laid down in Article 21 and will be published and transmitted to the Office within the time-limits set forth in Article 20.
