Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 2011, published 101st ILC session (2012)

Labour Inspection Convention, 1947 (No. 81) - Sri Lanka (Ratification: 1956)

With reference to its observation, the Committee wishes to raise the following additional point.

Article 21(c) of the Convention. Statistics on workplaces liable to inspection and workers employed therein. The Committee notes from the Government’s report that there are 86,619 workplaces liable to inspection while the number of “registered factories” amounts to 19,823. Referring, once again, to its 2009 general observation where it emphasized the importance of up-to-date information on workplaces liable to inspection and the workers employed therein, the Committee would be grateful if the Government would clarify the various types of workplaces which are liable to labour inspection and specify their numbers as well as the numbers of workers employed therein.
