Observation (CEACR) - adopted 1992, published 79th ILC session (1992)

Labour Inspection Convention, 1947 (No. 81) - Uganda (Ratification: 1963)

The Committee notes the limited information in the Government's report and in the annual inspection report for 1980 received in June 1990.

Articles 1, 16, 20 and 21 of the Convention. The Committee notes that the Government continues to have considerable difficulty in preparing and publishing annual inspection reports as required by the Convention. Such reports are an essential means of determining how the system of labour inspection is currently operating in the country and what measures are called for to improve it. The Committee notes from the information communicated by the Government to the Conference in 1990 that a multidisciplinary ILO/JASPA advisory mission visited the country in 1988 and proposed activities to strengthen the labour inspectorate. The Committee would be grateful if the Government would indicate what follow-up has been given to this proposal, and it would hope that the appropriate technical cooperation with the Office might soon be provided with the aim of improving application of the Convention. It hopes in the meantime that the Government will provide all available information on steps taken currently to ensure that workplaces are inspected as often and as thoroughly as necessary to ensure the implementation of labour legislation.
