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

Labour Inspection Convention, 1947 (No. 81) - Haiti (Ratification: 1952)

Articles 10, 11 and 16 of the Convention. With reference to its previous comments, the Committee notes with interest, from the Government's report, that over recent months the number of inspectors has been increased, new vehicles have been put at their disposal and working conditions have been improved, which should result in the regular inspection of an increasing number of workplaces. It requests the Government to supply detailed information in its next report on the staff of the labour inspection service, the number of workplaces liable to inspection and the number of workplaces inspected during the period covered by the report.

Article 14. The Committee notes the Government's statement that it will be possible to notify the labour inspection services of occupational diseases as soon as the early detection procedure has been established that is planned within the context of the reform of the Occupational Accidents, Sickness and Maternity Insurance Office (OFATMA). The Committee hopes that this reform will be made in the near future and requests the Government to supply information on any progress achieved in this connection.

Articles 20 and 21. The Committee recalls the importance that it attaches to the publication of inspection reports and hopes that the Government will take the necessary steps to ensure that in future annual reports of a general nature, which include detailed information on all the subjects set out in Article 21, are published and transmitted to the ILO within the time-limits set forth in Article 20.
