Observation (CEACR) - adopted 2015, published 105th ILC session (2016)

Labour Inspection Convention, 1947 (No. 81) - Kazakhstan (Ratification: 2001)

Articles 20 and 21. Annual report on the work of the labour inspection services. The Committee notes that since the ratification of the Convention in 2001, an annual report on the activities of the labour inspection services has never been received by the Office. However, the Committee notes that the Government’s report contains the statistics as required under Article 21 (d)–(g) (i.e. the number of labour inspections carried out, number of violations detected and penalties imposed, number of industrial accidents and number of occupational diseases). The Committee also recalls that the Government previously provided statistics on the number of inspectors, the workplaces liable to inspection and the number of workers employed therein (as required by Article 21(b) and (c)). With reference to its general observations of 2009 and 2010 on the importance of availability of a register of enterprises and an annual report on the work of the labour inspection services as required under the Convention, and in view of the data already available, the Committee once again requests the Government to take the necessary steps to ensure that the central inspection authority discharges its obligation to publish an annual report on the work of the labour inspection services under its control and communicate it to the ILO, in conformity with Article 20 and to ensure that it contains the subjects listed in Article 21.

The Committee is raising other matters in a request addressed directly to the Government.
