Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 1992, published 79th ILC session (1992)

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

The Committee notes the information provided by the Government, including the annual reports of the activities of the inspection services for 1988, 1989 and 1990.

Articles 7, 10 and 16 of the Convention. Further to its previous comments, the Committee would be grateful if the Government would indicate whether the level of inspection indicated in the 1988 and 1989 reports is considered sufficient to ensure the effective application of the relevant legal provisions. Please indicate any measures taken or envisaged to improve the frequency and thoroughness of inspection visits, and to ensure the training and number of inspectors are adequate.

Articles 20 and 21. The Committee notes that the annual inspection reports provided contain only partial information on the activities of the inspection services. It hopes that all the information required by Article 21 (including statistics of undertakings liable to inspection and the number of persons working in them) will be included in the reports. Please indicate also whether these reports are published and made generally available to interested persons and groups, including employer and worker organisations.
