Observation (CEACR) - adopted 1993, published 80th ILC session (1993)

Labour Inspection Convention, 1947 (No. 81) - Central African Republic (Ratification: 1964)

Articles 10, 11, paragraphs 1(b) and 2, and 16 of the Convention. Further to its previous observations, the Committee notes that in general the labour inspectorate lacks both the transport and the personnel necessary to discharge its duties effectively. It notes with regret that due to budgetary restrictions the draft designed to ensure the reimbursement of travelling expenses of labour inspectors has not yet been adopted, and the vehicles previously made available have been withdrawn. The Committee hopes the Government will indicate what steps are being taken or envisaged to ensure that workplaces are inspected as often and as thoroughly as necessary.

Articles 20 and 21. The Committee notes that despite earlier statements by the Government no annual labour inspection reports have been supplied as required by the Convention. It hopes the Government will shortly take the necessary measures so that annual labour inspection reports containing detailed information on all the subjects listed in Article 21 will be published and transmitted to the Office within the time laid down in Article 20.
