Powers of labour inspectors. Referring to its previous comments, the Committee notes with interest the provisions of Part 15 of the Labour Code of 2004, which entered into force on 6 January 2005, with regard in particular to the powers of control and injunction of labour inspectors (Articles 12 and 13 of the Convention). It also notes the provisions of section 100 of the Labour Code envisaging measures with immediate executory force in the event of imminent danger to the health or safety of the workers (Article 13, paragraph 2). The Committee further notes that ministerial orders applying the new provisions relating to occupational health and safety are currently being prepared. It requests the Government to continue to provide information on this subject and to transmit any texts that are adopted.
