Geneva, 11 luglio 1947


The General Conference of the International Labour Organisation,

Having been convened at Geneva by the Governing Body of the International Labour Office, and having met in its Thirtieth Session on 19 June 1947, and
Having decided upon the adoption of certain proposals with regard to the organisation of labour inspection in mining and transport undertakings, which is included in the fourth item on the agenda of the Session, and
Having determined that certain of these proposals shall take the form of a Recommendation supplementing the Labour Inspection Recommendation, 1923, the Labour Inspection Convention, 1947, and the Labour Inspection Recommendation, 1947,
adopts this eleventh day of July of the year one thousand nine hundred and forty-seven, the following Recommendation, which may be cited as the Labour Inspection (Mining and Transport) Recommendation, 1947:
Whereas the Labour Inspection Convention, 1947, provides for the organisation of systems of labour inspection and permits the exemption of mining and transport undertakings from the application thereof by national laws or regulations; and
Whereas it is nevertheless essential to make adequate provision in respect of mining and transport undertakings for the effective enforcement of legal provisions relating to conditions of work and the protection of workers while engaged in their work;
The Conference recommends that each Member should apply the following provisions as rapidly as national conditions allow and report to the International Labour Office as requested by the Governing Body concerning the measures taken to give effect thereto:
Each Member of the International Labour Organisation should apply to mining and transport undertakings as defined by the competent authority appropriate systems of labour inspection to ensure the enforcement of legal provisions relating to conditions of work and the protection of workers while engaged in their work.
