Articles 1 and 4 of the Convention. Organization and functioning of a labour inspection system. The Committee notes the Government’s reiterated indications in its report that there continues to be no full-time inspectorate. According to the Government, following the restructuring of the labour administration services, the Environmental Health Section of the Public Health Directorate retains responsibility in the areas of health and safety and the general work environment, and enforcement of the relevant legislation is vested with the Public Health Committee. However, no decision has yet been taken on the public entity that shall assume responsibility for labour inspection. The Committee requests that the Government pursue its efforts to provide for the organization of labour inspection services within the territory of Saint Helena. In this regard, the Committee also requests that the Government indicate the number of labour inspectors entrusted with the control of conditions of employment. The Committee also requests that the Government provide data on the number of workplaces liable to inspection and the number of workers employed therein, as well as on the number of labour inspection visits undertaken.
Article 2. Training of labour inspectors. The Committee notes the Government’s reiterated indications that one environmental health officer has received training on factory inspection duties but that no formal training on labour inspection duties was provided. The Committee also notes the Government’s indication that upon the final decision with regard to the entity responsible for labour inspection, relevant training will be arranged for the staff which will be entrusted with labour inspection functions. The Committee requests that the Government provide information on the measures taken to ensure that appropriate training is provided to labour inspectors and the results of these measures (number of labour inspectors that were trained, subjects and duration).
