Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 2005, published 95th ILC session (2006)

Labour Inspection (Agriculture) Convention, 1969 (No. 129) - Poland (Ratification: 1995)

The Committee notes the Government’s report for the period ending 30 June 2005. Further to its comments on the application of Convention No. 81, the Committee would be grateful if the Government would also provide information on the following points.

Structure of the labour inspection system. The Committee notes that, following changes made to the structure of the National Labour Inspection Directorate, the new Department for Prevention is responsible for the coordination of prevention activities concerning family farms. Noting that changes have also been introduced regarding labour inspections carried out at the district level, the Committee would be grateful if the Government would indicate the body responsible for carrying out preventive activities on family farms at the district level.

Occupational accidents in agriculture. The Committee notes a significant increase in the number of fatal occupational accidents in the forestry sector in 2004. It would be grateful if the Government would describe any new measures adopted or envisaged with a view to strengthening occupational risk prevention in agriculture and, in particular, in forestry.
