Labour Inspection Convention, 1947 (No. 81) - Panama (Ratification: 1958)

The Committee notes with interest the establishment by Decree No. 21 of 1997 of an inter-institutional technical committee on occupational health and safety. This permanent committee is responsible for the preparation, planning and coordination of action to promote the improvement of working conditions and environment. Noting that this committee includes two officials from the Ministry of Labour, the Committee of Experts would be grateful if the Government would provide information on its activities and on the matters which it addresses, and if it would indicate the manner in which the labour inspection services cooperate with the work of this committee, in accordance with Article 5(a).
