Labor inspection should not be limited to this institution which pursues violations of the law.
« If labor inspectors can carry out their missions in the right conditions, such as implementing prevention in businesses and companies, we will be able to observe a significant reduction in employment-related problems. ». These are the words of Hanitra Razakaboana, Minister of Labor and Civil Service, who draw attention to the leading role of labor inspectors in the fight for decent work in Madagascar. According to the minister, this should help improve working conditions in businesses and companies. This, to the extent that labor inspectors, in addition to being key players in prevention, in establishing a climate of safety and health at work, are “those who inform, raise awareness and educate employees on labor laws ».
Partnership
The labor inspectorate of Madagascar has just benefited from an allocation of equipment from the labor inspectorate of Reunion Island. In addition to these essential tools for the smooth running of their roles and missions, the country’s labor inspectors also benefited from sharing and exchanging good practices. “ Which will considerably change our perception of the roles of labor inspection » we indicate to the Ministry of Labor and the Civil Service. In this sense, labor inspection would no longer be limited to this institution which hunts down entities or people who break the law. “ The organization is there to support workers and businesses in complying with the laws in force. », specifies Hanitra Razakaboana. It would be with this aim of constantly improving the quality of services that the inspection collaborates with various entities. Responsible for enforcing the laws within companies, labor inspectors are limited in terms of staff. Added to this is the concentration of these state agents in the country’s capital. Which, as in many branches of public administration, handicaps other regions. This, in every way.
