Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 1990, published 77th ILC session (1990)

Labour Inspection Convention, 1947 (No. 81) - Burundi (Ratification: 1971)

Articles 10 and 16 of the Convention. The Committee notes with concern, from the annual inspection reports, that visits by labour inspectors to enterprises are extremely rare (for the 1,890 enterprises liable to inspection, the number of visits carried out was only 35 in 1986 and 57 in 1987). Furthermore, the Committee notes that the Government is aware of the need to increase the staff of the labour inspection services in order to ensure that workplaces are inspected regularly. It hopes that appropriate measures to this effect will be taken in the near future and requests the Government to supply information in its future reports on any progress achieved in this respect.

Article 20. The Committee requests the Government to indicate whether annual inspection reports are published and made available to the authorities concerned, to employers' and workers' organisations, and more generally, to all persons concerned.
