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

Labour Inspection Convention, 1947 (No. 81) - Uruguay (Ratification: 1973)

The Committee notes that the workers' organisation PIT-CNT is concerned at the reduction in the numbers of inspections and of workers protected in the country. It has noted also the partial inspection statistics provided by the Government following its earlier comments. The Committee would be glad if the Government would give its opinion of the PIT-CNT comment; and if it would in any event endeavour to ensure that annual inspection reports are compiled and published in accordance with Article 20 of the Convention, including all the information required under Article 21. The Committee stresses that such data are an essential means of determining whether workplaces are being inspected as often and as thoroughly as necessary in conformity with Article 16, and of deciding on remedial measures needed.
