This indicator conveys the average number of labour inspection visits conducted by a labour inspector during the year. Labour inspectors are public officials or other authorities who are responsible for three key labour inspection activities: a) securing the enforcement of the legal provisions relating to conditions of work and the protection of workers while engaged in their work, such as provisions relating to hours, wages, safety, health and welfare, the employment of children and young persons, and other connected matters, in so far as such provisions are enforceable by labour inspectors; b) supplying technical information and advice to employers and workers concerning the most effective means of complying with the legal provisions; c) bringing to the notice of the competent authority defects or abuses not specifically covered by existing legal provisions. Labour inspectors have the authority to initiate processes that may lead to legal action. Labour inspection visits refer to the physical presence of a labour inspector in a work place for the purpose of carrying out a labour inspection and which is duly documented as required by national legislation. For more information, refer to the Occupational Safety and Health Statistics (OSH) database description.
