Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 2003, published 92nd ILC session (2004)

Labour Inspection Convention, 1947 (No. 81) - Tunisia (Ratification: 1957)

With reference to its observation, the Committee wishes to draw the Government’s attention to the following points.

Article 21(c) of the Convention. Noting that the annual inspection reports for 1999 and 2000 do not specify, as required by this provision, the number of workplaces liable to labour inspection and the number of workers employed in them, and emphasizing the need for this data to be available in order for the effectiveness of the labour inspection system to be assessed, the Committee would be grateful if the Government would ensure that these data are included in its future annual reports.

Execution of notices served by inspectors and court action taken on inspectors’ reports of violations. The Committee notes with interest the detailed statistics on the violations reported and the action taken thereon by the labour inspectors as a result to eliminate or punish them. It requests the Government to provide information on the impact of such notices and reports on employers’ compliance with the legal provisions relating to conditions of work and the protection of workers in the exercise of their occupation.
