Demande directe (CEACR) - adoptée 1995, publiée 83ème session CIT (1996)

Convention (n° 81) sur l'inspection du travail, 1947 - Pays-Bas (Ratification: 1951)

The Committee notes the information provided by the Government in its report for the period ending May 1995 and in the 1993 annual labour inspection report. It notes in particular the reorganization and merger of the various inspection functions in the new Inspection Service (SZW). It also notes with interest the introduction, by stages, of a new approach to government enforcement policy on conditions of work. The Committee would be grateful if the Government would continue to provide information on the implementation of the new approach to enforcement in practice, and in particular the place in the new scheme of the function of labour inspectors to supply technical information and advice to employers and workers concerning the most effective means of complying with the legal provisions including during inspection visits (Article 3, paragraph 1(b), of the Convention) and the place of unannounced inspection visits (Article 12, paragraph 1(a)).
