Observation (CEACR) - adopted 1994, published 81st ILC session (1994)

Labour Inspection (Agriculture) Convention, 1969 (No. 129) - Malawi (Ratification: 1971)

The Committee notes that the Government's report has not been received. It must therefore repeat its previous observation which read as follows:

Article 19 of the Convention. Further to its previous comments, the Committee notes with interest that the Workers' Compensation Act includes provision in section 24 for the notification of occupational accidents and diseases. It would be glad if the Government would clarify whether, in the light of section 2(a), this applies to persons whose employment is "of a casual nature". It hopes the Government will also provide a copy of the new rules involving inspectors in on-the-spot inquiries into serious cases. Articles 14, 15, 21, 26 and 27. The Committee's comments under Convention No. 81 apply.
