Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 1996, published 85th ILC session (1997)

Labour Inspection Convention, 1947 (No. 81) - Romania (Ratification: 1973)

Article 6 of the Convention. The Committee notes the information contained in the Government's report that a draft Act on the public service has been submitted to the Parliament and that a copy will be sent to the ILO when the Act is adopted. Pending reception of the draft Act, the Committee requests the Government to provide information on the manner in which this provision is applied in practice.

Article 7, paragraph 3. The Committee notes the information provided by the Government that the Ministry of Labour and Social Protection organizes, together with the Ministry of the Education, the training of specialists in the matter of safety at work (article 20(k) of the Act on safety at work, 23 July 1996). It also notes the Government's information on the training courses on safety at work organized by the Bucharest Institute of scientific research on safety at work and by the Technical University of Petrosani. The Committee requests the Government to continue to supply information on this subject.

Article 13, paragraph 2 (a). The Committee notes that the new Act on safety at work does not contain any provision to give effect to this Article. It requests the Government to indicate in its next report the measures taken or envisaged to give effect to this provision.

Article 20. The Committee notes the report on the activities of the Department of Labour Protection for 1992 communicated by the Government. However, it notes once again that no inspection report seems to have been established or published according to the Convention. Noting the indication of the Government in its report that the Department of Labour Protection of the Ministry of Labour will communicate the annual report to the ILO, the Committee hopes that the necessary measures will be taken so that in future the annual report will be published, and that the Government will communicate a copy to the ILO within the period fixed in Article 20. The Committee further notes that in listing laws and regulations under the jurisdiction of the labour inspection, the Department of Labour Protection report for 1992 quotes the Order No. 688/29.X.1992 on the establishment and sanction of irregularities at work and social protection. The Committee requests the Government to send a copy of the Order to the ILO.
