61st Meeting of the Senior Labour Inspectors’ Committee was held in Warsaw

In connection with Poland’s Presidency of the EU Council, the 61st meeting of the Senior Labour Inspectors’ Committee was held at Novotel Hotel in Warsaw on 6 and 7 December 2011. The event was attended by the heads of labour inspectorates from 27 EU Member States and EFTA countries, representatives of the European Commission and international organisations active in the area of occupational safety and health.

This was the first time that the National Labour Inspectorate had the opportunity to host the SLIC Plenary. The NLI’s management was represented by: Anna Tomczyk, Chief Labour Inspector and the Deputy Grzegorz Łyjak.

As usual, the first day of the meeting, the Thematic Day, was a conference organised under the slogan that had been agreed upon by the SLIC members. This time the Thematic Day was devoted to summing up the NLI’s project that was implemented in cooperation with the EU Labour Inspectorates and aimed at developing “European Code of Good Practice in inspection and non-inspection work of labour inspectorates”. The publication describes several dozen best national inspection and promotional campaigns carried out by the labour inspectorates represented in the Senior Labour Inspectors’ Committee. It may be a guide to planning, arranging, implementing and assessing inspection campaigns and preventive-communication programmes.

The conference agenda included presentations given by the Polish labour inspectorate’s representatives, who described the objectives and outcome of the project, along with the Code itself. Other speakers were foreign experts. They presented and thoroughly analysed examples of good national practices that are not included in the Code. The meeting ended with a discussion during which conference participants debated whether it would be possible to apply solutions presented in the Code of Good Practice in activities of individual labour inspectorates and in EU campaigns organised under the auspices of the Senior Labour Inspectors’ Committee.

The second day was a closed session with the participation of SLIC members, as well as observers from EFTA and candidate countries, European Agency for Safety and Health at Work in Bilbao, and International Labour Organization. The topics included recent events and developments, also of legislative nature, in the field of work safety and health in the EU Member States. The discussions focused also on joint initiatives resulting from SLIC’s decisions and implemented in the form of inspection and communication campaigns, as well as on the review of progress made by Working Groups tasked with selected issues of work safety.
