Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 1995, published 83rd ILC session (1996)

Labour Inspection Convention, 1947 (No. 81) - Gibraltar

The Committee notes the information contained in the Government's report that since the Employment and Training Board set up a labour inspectorate in September 1992, 554 inspections have been carried out leading to the discovery of 580 persons illegally employed and 91 firms being fined. The Committee requests the Government to continue to provide information on the inspections carried out, on progress achieved in securing enforcement of the legal provisions relating to conditions of work and protection of workers and on sanctions imposed.

Articles 16, 20 and 21. Further to its previous comments, the Committee notes the statistics on industrial accidents for the period 1982-93 supplied by the Government (Article 21(f)). The Committee notes, however, that once again no annual labour inspection report has been received. The Committee recalls the need to ensure that regular reports on inspection activities are compiled and published in accordance with the Convention. The Committee trusts that the Government will soon provide the necessary information.
