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

Labour Inspection Convention, 1947 (No. 81) - Syrian Arab Republic (Ratification: 1960)

Article 5(a) of the Convention. Further to its previous comments, the Committee notes that the Government's report repeats the information that the Bill to provide for a coordinating body of the various ministries involved in the safety of workers and the working environment to be named the Environmental Safety Organization has not yet been adopted but that the Ministry of Labour has requested the Social Security Institution as well as the Ministry of the Environment to provide it with information on developments in this respect. The Committee renews its hope that the Government will adopt the Bill shortly and send a copy of the adopted text.

Articles 8, 10 and 21(a). Further to its observation, the Committee notes that the annual inspection reports for 1992 and 1993 do not provide information on the number of inspectors of different categories, taking also into account the requirements of Article 8 of the Convention, and including particulars of the geographical distribution of the inspection services. The Committee hopes future annual inspection reports will contain these particulars as required by these provisions of the Convention and the report form approved by the Governing Body.
