Demande directe (CEACR) - adoptée 2002, publiée 91ème session CIT (2003)

Convention (n° 81) sur l'inspection du travail, 1947 - Ile de Man

The Committee takes note of the Government’s report, the annual inspection reports for 1999 and 2000 and the text of the 1930 Act respecting the employment of women, young people and children.

The Committee notes with interest the information contained in the report for 1999 concerning the publication by the labour inspectorate of a leaflet on protection of the head on building sites, which is intended to inform all interested parties of the relevant legal requirements, and the information given in the annual report for 2000 on the publication by the labour inspectorate of three safety and health manuals concerning specifically the reporting of accidents, illnesses and dangerous situations, commuting accidents, and the methodology for drawing up a statement of policy in safety and health.

At the same time, the Committee notes that the annual reports still include no information on the number of workplaces liable to labour inspection and the number of workers employed therein (Article 21(c)) of the Convention). The Committee also notes the absence of statistics on violations and penalties imposed (point (e)). The Government is asked to take the necessary steps to ensure that such information is included in future annual inspection reports.
