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

Labour Inspection Convention, 1947 (No. 81) - Jordan (Ratification: 1969)

The Committee notes the Government's reply to its previous observation concerning Articles 12, 13 and 14 of the Convention, that the draft labour code which will deal with these matters is being considered by the Council of Ministers. It hopes the necessary measures will be taken very shortly, and that they will ensure amongst other things that:

(i) the power to make or have made orders with immediate executory force in the event of imminent danger is conferred directly on labour inspectors (Article 13); and

(ii) there is an obligation to notify the inspectorate of industrial accidents and occupational diseases (Article 14).

As regards Articles 20 and 21, the Committee hopes that inspection reports covering all the matters listed in the Convention will be published and transmitted within the time-limits laid down.
