Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 2007, published 97th ILC session (2008)

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

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 takes note of the Government’s report as well as the legislative texts and regulations attached to it. The Committee notes the statistics provided by the Government for the period 2002–05 relating to the inspections carried out, the cases taken to court and the reportable injuries. The Committee notes however that there is no mention of the number of workplaces liable to inspection and the number of workers employed therein. It requests the Government to provide in its next report information on progress achieved in securing enforcement of the legal provisions relating to conditions of work and protection of workers following recent EU Directives in the area of safety and health, in so far as labour inspection is concerned. The Committee further notes that no annual labour inspection report has been received. The Committee recalls the importance attached to the publication by the central inspection authority, and the transmission to the ILO of a report on the work of the inspection services under its control in pursuance of Articles 20 and 21 of the Convention. It requests the Government to take any appropriate measures to give effect to these important provisions of the Convention. The Government is also asked to provide the information requested by the report form for the Convention under each of its provisions, and its Parts IV and V.
