Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 1998, published 87th ILC session (1999)

Labour Inspection Convention, 1947 (No. 81) - Grenada (Ratification: 1979)

Display in: French - SpanishView all

The Committee notes with regret that once again the Government's report has not been received. It hopes that a report will be supplied for examination by the Committee at its next session and that it will contain full information on the matters raised in its previous direct request, which read as follows:

The Committee notes that although the Government's report for the period ending September 1995 was not received, a copy of the 1993 annual report of the Department of Labour was received in January 1995.

Article 14 of the Convention. The Committee notes from the 1993 annual report of the Department of Labour that reporting of employment injuries was not well adhered to by both employers and the affected employees. Please provide information on the measures taken or envisaged to improve the reporting by employers of industrial accidents and cases of occupational disease.

Articles 20 and 21. Further to its previous comments, the Committee again notes that the 1993 annual report of the Department of Labour does not contain all the information required by the Convention, in particular the laws and regulations relevant to the work of the inspection service (Article 21(a)), statistics liable to inspection and the number of workers employed therein (Article 21(c)), statistics of violations and penalties imposed (Article 21(e)), and statistics on occupational diseases (Article 21(g)). The Committee hopes that the necessary steps will be taken by the Government to include all the required information in future annual reports and that such reports will be communicated within the time-limits set by Article 20.
