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

Labour Inspection Convention, 1947 (No. 81) - Sierra Leone (Ratification: 1961)

The Committee notes the Government's reply to its previous comments regarding the serious problems of application of the Convention. It notes that the situation of the labour inspection service, in particular the number of labour inspectors, the frequency of inspection visits, the transport facilities furnished to labour inspectors and the absence of publication and transmission of annual labour inspection reports (Articles 10, 11, 16, 20 and 21 of the Convention), has not improved. The Committee hopes that with the cooperation of the concerned technical department of the Office it will be possible to make some workable proposals for support of various kinds to the inspection services, and that the Government will continue to provide available information on the manner in which the Convention is applied and on any progress made.
