Convenio sobre la inspección del trabajo (agricultura), 1969 (núm. 129) - Kazajstán (Ratificación : 2001)

The Committee notes that the content of the Government’s report is identical to the report on the application of Convention No. 81, and that no specific information on the activities of the labour inspection services in agriculture has been provided by the Government.

Article 6(1)(a) and (b) and 2, of the Convention. Activities of the labour inspection services in occupational safety and health in agricultural undertakings. Noting the absence of a reply from the Government in this regard, the Committee once again requests the Government to provide information on the activities of labour inspectors in relation to agricultural undertakings, particularly on acts of supervision and prevention with a view to ensuring the protection of workers exposed to risks inherent to the use of chemicals, plant or complex machinery.

Recalling that Article 6(2) provides that national laws or regulations may give labour inspectors in agriculture advisory or enforcement functions regarding legal provisions relating to conditions of life of workers and their families, the Committee also once again requests the Government to provide information in relation to the application of this provision.

Article 9(3). Training for labour inspectors in agriculture. The Committee notes the Government’s reiterated statement that labour inspectors undergo regular training no less than once every three years, but that it does not provide a reply in relation to the specific training of labour inspectors in agriculture. The Committee therefore once again requests the Government to provide information on the content of the training intended specifically for labour inspectors performing their functions in the agricultural sector and the number of labour inspectors benefiting from such training.

Article 15(b). Transport facilities available for inspectors in agriculture. In the absence of a response from the Government in this respect, the Committee once again requests the Government to provide information on the transport facilities available to labour inspectors in agriculture bearing in mind the distance of agricultural undertakings from urban centres and their wide dispersion.
