Observación (CEACR) - Adopción: 2012, Publicación: 102ª reunión CIT (2013)

Convenio sobre la inspección del trabajo (territorios no metropolitanos), 1947 (núm. 85) - Islas Vírgenes Británicas

Articles 2, 3, 4 and 5 of the Convention. Application of the Convention in practice. The Committee notes with interest the text of the Labour Code, No. 4 of 2010, which meets the requirements of Articles 4 and 5 of the Convention. The Committee also notes however that, according to the Government’s report, labour inspectors have found no contraventions during the reporting period. In this regard, the Committee notes that under section 24 of the Labour Code, the Commissioner of Labour should produce an annual report with information on the inspections undertaken, the infringements detected, the complaints received from workers and employers, and a status report on occupational safety and health. The Committee would be grateful if the Government would communicate the annual report in order to illustrate the manner in which the powers and obligations of labour inspectors envisaged in sections 13–15 and 155 of the Labour Code are exercised in practice.

Finally, the Committee reiterates its request for the Government to provide full and detailed information on the questions raised in Parts I–V of the report form.
