Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 2001, published 90th ILC session (2002)

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

The Committee notes that 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 the Government’s report and the annual inspection report on safety and health at work. It draws the Government’s attention to the following matters.

        Articles 3, paragraph 1(a), and 20 of the Convention. The Committee notes that the annual reports submitted relate only to inspection activities with regard to safety and health at work. It would be grateful if the Government would supply information concerning labour inspection structures and activities in the fields mentioned in this provision, in addition to those of safety and health at work, such as duration of work, salaries and the employment of children and young persons.

        Articles 10(a)(i) and (ii) and 21(c) and (d). The Committee notes that neither the Government’s reports nor the annual report submitted supply statistics on the number of workplaces liable to inspection and the workers employed there. Stressing the essential nature of such information in order to appreciate the effectiveness of inspection activities, the Committee requests the Government to take the necessary steps to include it in the next annual reports.
